Killie looking for strike two

The Hoops lost for the first time in nine years against Killie when they went down 1-0 at Rugby Park in the SPL last week in what was Robbie Keane's debut for the visitors.After the draw at Hampden, made by snooker World Champion John Higgins and Glasgow businessman Willie Haughey, Killie chief Johnston said: "I know that Robbie Keane and the other players will have more time to settle in and they will be a different proposition from the team we faced recently, but we've done it once and we can do it again."The most important thing was it's at Rugby Park."Obviously there are other teams we would rather have drawn than Celtic."But we beat them last time we played and you never know, lightening can strike twice."We are just glad to be in the quarter-finals."It's very important financially and each round you get through means quite a lot, particularly if you are playing at home."But the big thing is getting to the semi-final stage where the gates from the two games at Hampden are pooled and that's what we are working towards now."
