Steven Naismith fired an extra-time winner for Kilmarnock to scrape past First Division side Queen of the South 2-1 in the second round of the CIS Insurance Cup.

The first half was a relatively quiet affair with only a handful of chances to note, the first in 16 minutes falling to Steven Naismith when he came out best in a challenge between himself and Willie Gibson and with Colin Scott well outside the area Naismith lobbed the 'keeper, (right) but the ball bounced fortunately for Queens over the bar with the goal unguarded. Four minutes later and Queens had their first chance of the half as a corner was headed back across goal by Murray Henderson for Sean O'Connor to slide in and fire the ball just past the post with Graeme Smith in the Killie goal unsighted.

Naismith supplied an excellent finish to break Queens' resistance seven minutes from the end of extra-time, but the home side had chances to pull off a shock win at Palmerston Park.

The Doonhamers stunned the visitors in the 48th minute when Sean O'Connor poked the ball home following a goalmouth scramble.

In the next 10 minutes, the hosts missed two great opportunities to increase their lead, but they paid the price with 15 minutes remaining With just fifteen minutes to go however the home side conceded an equalising goal as the left hand side of the park provided a route for Naismith to put in a quality cross that Grant Murray was able to rise and head past the stranded Colin Scott.

In extra-time, Michael Mullen missed a good chance to regain the lead for Queens, shooting just wide, & Wright hitting the bar for Killie. With 112 mins played Steven Naismith picked up a loose ball in the middle of the park and made towards goal down the right hand side, Murray Henderson held off the forward for fear of conceding a penalty but Naismith still managed to unleash a superb effort that found the back of the net with Colin Scott stranded.
