If I were a Killie fan I would 1) be very eager to see the red card again, and 2) very confident of finishing above Motherwell over the season.

Ho hum.

But for us that was a very good night. We got a huge slice of luck and deserve credit for taking advantage of it.

I don't think the last three games - or more fairly Aberdeen and Killie - are real cause for concern. In the same way that stuffing Hamilton does not mean we will finish third, losing to the Dons or struggling against Killie does not mean we're relegation fodder. We're going to be comfortably between fifth and eighth, I reckon, and being confident of that after the first round of games is a decent enough sign.
