The Relegation Battle

Pars fans on here are ridiculous. Being mediocre and losing most of your games is basically par for the course in this division. To be relegation material you have to truly plumb the depths of incompetence.

After last year's lucky escape (1 point in front of QoS), I'm not going to be getting too settled about remaining in the division.

I definitely think we're starting to look up more now, but the next 3 games will determine where we're heading tbh.

With the relegation picture being so tight in the second tier its worth remembering that Kilmarnock haven't played at such an embarrassing level since 1993.  Getting close to 30 years now guys.

Some teams, like Ayr and Morten, have viewed simply finishing in the top half of this division as an achievement.

Of the 38 clubs that made up the SFL when it split into 3 divisions in the mid 70s - Stenhousemuir and Kilmarnock are the only teams of those 38 to still be in the SPFL and never have won a league title of any description in that time.

The diddiest of diddy clubs.

Even the now Pub League Berwick picked up a couple of titles.

Brechin have only finished bottom of the SPFL/whatever in that time once previously, 1978, and sadly for them Berwick prior to last season had previously finished bottom of the SPFL once in that same period (1987).

Morton and Livi the only non-OF sides with more league titles than the Pars.

Making up for lost time, sure we didn't win a title in between the mid 1920s and the mid 1980s. 

 

Obviously winning the Scottish Cup twice would've been nice though.

All ten of Morton's promotions in the post-war era have come with a league title as well: the true la decima of world football.

Yeah I dont know. I assume lots of other fans feel the same about Dunfermline but yeah just no feelings for or against Killie just meh to me. Boring.
