Invincibile for the Tennent's Scottish Cup third-round tie at
Hearts.
Jim Jefferies pre match comments... "Like any player (Gary Wales) who has spent time at a club and then goes
back, there is always a little edge to it. Gary has been very patient
because of Kris' performances and the fact he's had one or two niggling
injuries. He came on against Dundee United and popped up with the
winner
then started against Hibs and come up with a very important goal in the
2-2 draw. Him and people like Allan Johnston will relish going back to put
one over on their old club. As long as they don't get caught up in the
occasion though, because I've seen players go back to their old clubs and,
in their efforts to try harder, they get caught up in the whole thing and
don't give their best. Gary did a good job there and has good memories of
his time at Hearts but he's now trying to help Killie get into the next
round of the cup. When the draw was made, Hearts away from home was one of
the hardest because of the season they've had. We've played them twice
this year and there has been very little in it. But this will be a tricky
tie for Hearts as we've been on a good run. But they are, quite rightly,
the favourites as they are going so well this season and have some
fantastic players. We know we'll have to play well to have a chance, but
it might be our day and we're capable of causing an upset."
