Kilmarnock seals Scottish Premiership survival

A Greg Kiltie double helped Kilmarnock preserve its 23-year Scottish Premiership stay with a 4-0 win over Falkirk in the playoff.

Kilmarnock thumped Falkirk 4-0 to seal Scottish Premiership survival on Sunday, overturning a 1-0 deficit from the first leg of the playoff.

Lee Clark's side trailed to an injury-time Will Vaulks goal, but early strikes from Greg Kiltie and Miles Addison put the host in control at Rugby Park.

Kiltie added his second, then former Portland Timbers forward Kris Boyd tapped home from Josh Magennis' pass to round off a convincing win and continue Kilmarnock's 23-year stay in the top-flight.
