@Sinclair1875: "Ban provincial clubs from entering Europe and let us, Hearts and Aberdeen have a three-way playoff for the two remaining Europa League places every season? Not for me to say, but yes."

@Mitch_Al: "The Chris Burke substitution. Of everything, that's the thing that worries me most. Fundamentally getting the decision wrong, losing the fans, and then pointed applause from Burke at the end... Managers need time but when that connection breaks, and early, its a big old worry..."

@MichaelWood_SJ: "Connah's Quay Nomads edged past League Two Edinburgh City on penalties in Wales in the Scottish Challenge Cup semi-final last year."

@james_hunter91: "Desperately disappointing that Kilmarnock have been knocked out by Connah’s Quay Nomads."

@mcgowan_stephen: "That’s a shameful result for Kilmarnock."

@RFBorthwick: "Kilmarnock Football Club (2017-2019) has passed away. RIP u will live on forever. Cant believe it. I wanna run to u. Really cant believe this."

@the_nomads: "FULL TIME |
