The A to Z of killie supporters

I’ve been supporting killie for 41 years and I haven’t completed the alphabet. They say it’s possible to get to 25 based (anybody 26) on domestic and Europe based on who we played and the first letter of those teams. I’m a few short despite European adventures and lower league adventures. Anybody do the the full alphabet or closest based on OFFicial  first team matches?

York City in a friendly around 1970. 

Think we played Hull City and Wolves on the same pre-season tour. 

X - I think you’re going to be out of luck unless we play Neuchatel Xamax! 

Z - we played F C Zurich in the Fairs Cup in 1969. 

I don’t think you can include Nice under O. That’s a bit like classifying Aberdeen FC under F!

did we play Yeovil when in somerset/dorset the othere year too? 

Surely, if we're sticking to the OP's point, we can't count friendlies?

We played a team from Tirana in Europe in the 60s but I don't know if it was just Tirana or if there was another name in front of it?

At 1 year old I was a bit young to go though.

There will be competitive games against Englsh sides in the Anglo-Scottish cup - do they count? If so I think we played Wolves in that at one point?

I'll be in Tirana in November for the Scotland game.

Me, @Gaz of the 20/20 and @under5 are going to go and see the stadium. Think quite a few Killie fans are doing likewise.

17 Nentori Tirana, who are now KF Tirana and they play in blue and white stripes! 

The match was played in the Qemal Stafa stadium which, according to Wiki, was demolished in 2016 for construction of a new national stadium on the same site, due for completion in December this year.
