Kilmarnock out of Europe

[LawSteelman]

To a Welsh semi professional side despite having won 2-1 in the away tie last week, they lost 2-0 tonight. We've no real place to laugh at any other sides poor European efforts but jeezo, that is probably worse than our shambles against that Icelandic mob five years ago.

From a domestic point of view, it'll be interesting to see where Killie are at this season and whether they'll come down a few pegs from last season, because they were a solid side under Steve Clarke who's now gone...and I doubt they would have lost like that tonight had he still been in charge.

But he's not ... and they lost.

That's an insanely bad result, arguably the worst Scottish result in Europe ever.

I think even the most optimistic Killie fan would expect s downturn this season, you can't just replace one of the best managers in your history and continue like nothing happened. July is s bad judge - Celtic lost Rodgers' first game in Gibraltar remember - but doesn't bode well.

The fact they were 2-1 up from the away leg, two away goals against a semi pro side and you still end up losing the tie, makes it all the more horrendous. I would be absolutely apoplectic if that was us and I've seen us blow many a great opportunity over the years. I have always said that European football for clubs like ourselves and clubs like Kilmarnock as well, is nothing to get excited about, just a couple of glorified friendlies with the added possibility of being on the end of an utter humiliation into the bargain and results like that for Kilmarnock and our dismal efforts under Stuart McCall just go to support that belief
