Excited to be back in the big time - however, I would be happy with a draw. I don't think we're quite the finished article yet due to a lack of signings and injuries as others have said, and United have strengthened on paper at least. Bring on the new season - there's every chance that after 3 games we might have no points on the board, but a much tougher start you probably couldn't have got.

Didn't get to the game but managed to stream most of it. The new signings do seem like an improvement on what we had a week past on Wednesday against Thistle - and Alebiosu looks to be an absolute pler. Yes, we were against opponents from the fourth tier, but I'm pleased with the way we played yesterday and I hope that with one or two more signings we can have a good go at moving up the table. How far up the table we can go remains to be seen, but if the likes of Motherwell, Hibs, St. Johnstone and St. Mirren continue to struggle then I'd like to think that we can do better than them.

Looks like he's got a nice touch and a decent delivery from his crosses. As we've seen from the likes of Ndjoli it's a big step up from playing U23 football against people the same age as you to playing against men, but let's see what he can do.
I like how McInnes is making us into a taller team - I can't remember us having a team where most of the team are tall for years.
Less good news about Hemming being out for a month to six weeks, however. Sam Walker has big gloves to fill but given his previous performances with us I think he's capable of stepping up.

An unusual starting XI last night to say the least, and I don't know why the manager played a weaker team than the team that played against Fraserburgh. Obviously with Lafferty injured he had to make a change up top, but I think last night shows why Innes Cameron will never be a top-level striker. Far too slow and had the speed and the turning circle of the Waverley. As some alluded to elsewhere, perhaps the manager wanted to put the players of lesser quality in the shop window to attract other clubs to ask for them on loan/buy them - I can't see anyone taking any of these players based on last night though. McInroy was good when he came on and I'd like to see more of him.
When it came to the penalties, I had confidence in Hemming but it wasn't his best display. Had he stood still for a couple, he would have had relatively easy saves but I understand why keepers don't want to stand in the middle and risk looking daft. When it came to Murray's slip I think the whole ground started laughing, and it was unlucky but that now puts us in a weak position to try and get out of the group. There's plenty of time for things to happen elsewhere but it looks like we're relying on gaining 6 points and hoping that everything else works out.
It's still obvious that the squad needs some strengthening and I hope that the manager will be working hard on this. I'm not panicking, but with Dundee United looking strong already I can't see us getting anything from the first 3 games with this pool of players.

Very pleased to have him back - you couldn't get a much better professional to get good habits on and off the park instilled into the youths. Rugby Park is a better place for having him around.

Another 1-0 win for the stripes, once again coming from an absolute howler at the back by the opposition. I have no doubt that the team we put out tonight will look vastly different from the one that lines up against Dundee United in late July.

A very sad day. One of the greatest-ever Scottish goalkeepers, the kind that made you think you would never score past him.

Would hope that come Friday when a lot of contracts expire elsewhere we can continue to add to the squad. It's currently nowhere near deep or good enough and the manager will know this himself.

St. Mirren kit is very nice, especially the tap. Agree about the red stripe on the shorts seeming odd - it seems better overall with the black shorts and socks.

Absolutely brilliant news. Very pleased to have the big man back between the sticks in the big league.
Edit: How nice is that goalie kit btw? Like it a lot.

Seen it rumoured that we're sniffing around Tomi Adeloye - not massively excited about that as I've not been overly impressed with him on the occasions I've seen him play. Hoping that this is just a baseless rumour that goes nowhere.

When were Stranraer and Kilmarnock's receptions? Stranraer's 150th was during Covid right enough but that didn't seem to deter Conservatives..
I wonder if George Galloway will still be kicking a baw when it's Queen of the South's 150th - I'm sure he'd want to be a part of that given his support of the club over the pandemic...

Happy with this. Here's hoping for more signings later this week.

Fantastic - Lost Glasgow has to be one of the best Scottish twitter pages, Norry who runs it seems very sound indeed.
Found some old issues of a late 60s/early 70s Scottish football newspaper publication at work today, will have to post them at some point in the future.

Kilmarnock try McInroy from Celtic (loan deal with Ayr Utd last season) and McAlear from Norwich city (loan deal with Inverness CT last season)
Both of those signings would do me fine. When I see other clubs starting to announce signings - even when there's still plenty of time to get players signed up before it gets to Allan Johnston levels of panicking and signing the first players that want to come regardless of ability - it makes me feel like we're far behind. Hoping for some news this week.

Apparently we're looking at signing Kerr McInroy. If that's right enough I'm happy with that because not only does he look a tidy young player, it'll also annoy our county cousins immensely.

The Ayr kit might be a template, but it's got a bit of 80s charm about it. Very Spursy.

First 2022/23 Scottish Premiership side kit release, Kilmarnock with their new home and away kits.
Big fan of these kits. The home one is very mid-90s and while a Hummel template, looks quite a lot like this Matchwinner/LCS effort:

The new home kit
I absolutely love it. Away kit is great too - maybe one of the best home/away kit combos we've had in ages.

As a Killie fan I've found the last few weeks to be quite unusual - because we'd been in the Premiership for so long it meant we played well into May, and since the last game in Kirkcaldy it's taken a while to get used to no football while the Premiership finishes up and the lower-league playoffs started. For me, I enjoy spending my summer Saturdays playing bowls, doing stuff with friends and going to the odd festival/big outdoor gig. I usually find the first few weeks without a game alright, but then you get to the end of June/start of July in a year without a summer tournament and I'm desperate to get back.

Looking forward to it tonight, and also looking forward to seeing how the winner does against the Saintees next week. Here's hoping for goals aplenty.

If it wasn't for it being the first game of the season - say, if this game was in October or February - I suspect pretty much everyone would be fine with this.
