Spat upsets Jefferies

Kilmarnock boss Jim Jefferies hopes he can repair his relationship with Maurice Malpas after the two managers were involved in an animated dispute during Killie's 3-2 CIS Insurance Cup quarter-final win over Motherwell on Tuesday.
Jefferies was livid when the Steelmen played on despite Peter Leven lying injured in his own half and David Clarkson netted to make it 2-2.
Jefferies said: "I saw a couple of Motherwell players - and Keith Lasley in particular - screaming to put the ball out. Our players switched off a bit.
"They haven't broken any rules. But some teams just do the honourable thing. I think Leven's was a head knock and maybe the referee should have stopped it. He certainly said it was a bang on the head. But they played on.
"I looked at Maurice and shook my head and said that was a bit unsporting. Suddenly he had a brainstorm and came rushing towards me. I thought he was going to banjo me. He certainly was very animated.
"I'll have a beer with him and sit down and have a chat with him, we will not fall out."
