Killie class pleases Jefferies

Kilmarnock manager Jim Jefferies was as pleased as punch after seeing his side thrash Dunfermline Athletic 5-1 at Rugby Park.
Two goals apiece from Colin Nish and Paul di Giacomo spearheaded the Killie rout, with Gordon Greer also on the scoresheet.
Jefferies said after the match: "Any game when you win 5-1 has got to be good. You'd take that scoreline and performance every week.
"We knew we had to start well because Dunfermline would come out of the traps quickly trying to impress the new manager and we did that.
"I had a few options available about who was to play up front. Paul (di Giacomo) was my first option and he persuaded me to play him, he was desperate to start.
"His movement in behind was sensational and he was man-of-the-match quite clearly, but there was a lot of good football out there."
