'Much better than Rangers despite not being at our best'

Killie fans, we asked for your thoughts after Marley Watkin's goal earned your team all three points against Rangers on Sunday.

Here's what you had to say:

Paul: First half I thought we were the better team. We gave up more possession second half but I think we were happy to let them have the ball and try break us down. That is the worst Rangers team I've seen us play in years. We were confident we could take something from the game today and it wasn't a shock to take all three points. A well-deserved first home win.

Stephen: At last, a home win, clean sheet and a full 90-minute performance. The back four were composed, the midfield supported our defence and drove forward when winning possession, and the front two didn’t give the opposition defence a minute's peace. The right subs made at the right time too. Never mind storm Ashley, Rangers couldn't cope with storm Marley. Great win.

Robert: Absolutely superb. We were the better side throughout the whole game and it was as comfortable a game against one of the Old Firm we've ever had. Rangers are a very poor side, we were much better than Rangers despite not being at our best.

Anon: A great team performance, but special mention to Robbie Deas. Whenever called upon, he more than steps up and has contributed massively to some of our best defensive performances under Derek McInnes. We are lucky to have him and he deserves to start more often.

Anna: A hard-fought but well-deserved win for the boys. A good solid defence with Deas and Stuart Findlay in the middle. The midfield caused no end of problems for Rangers. I feel David Watson should have started instead of coming on from the bench. As for Watkins, need I say any more?

Derek: As comfortable a win against either half of the Old Firm as I can remember. Absolutely brilliant to see Brad Lyons and Liam Donnelly winning the midfield battle with a man disadvantage, and with the exception of Jefte-Armstrong it felt like Kilmarnock resoundingly won every individual battle. Phenomenal performance, and hopefully a sign of things to come.
