Kilmarnock suffered capital punishment yesterday after losing 3-1 to Hearts as the Premiership emerged from its World Cup winter break.
First-half goals from Josh Ginnelly and Lawrence Shankland put the Jambos firmly in the driving seat at Tynecastle.
Defender Ash Taylor pulled one back for Killie but hopes of a dramatic comeback were dashed a couple of minutes before the end when Shankland converted a penalty.
