What the best you’ve ever seen us play?

Was asked about this the other day. Not the best game but the best footballing performance.

Ones that come to mind mostly in recent years are the run of 3-0 wins under Mixu, the first half 3-0 vs Celtic only to blow it in the second. We played really well in the League Cup final.

Anymore

6th March 1978 - Monday night Scottish Cup Replay against Celtic.

We tore into Celtic from the start and truly could (and should) have been 3-0 up at half-time. Somehow it was a goalless first half. Celtic - presumably having had a rocket up their 'hinend at half-time came out the traps fast in the second half but Killie matched them. Roy Aitken was deservedly sent off on the hour mark and we pummelled them for the rest of the game but it looked like they would hang on. Until, in the 83rd minute, McDicken sent 14,000 into raptures with a bullet of a daisy-cutter from 25 yards that flew in off the base of the post. The noise in the last 7 minutes was unreal but we were almost silenced in the last minute when Jim Stewart was beaten for the first time that night by a Johannes Edvaldsson shot that McDicken managed to clear off the line.

A never-to-be-forgotten game for anyone lucky enough to be at RP that night, including this ecstatic twelve year old!

We beat Falkirk 9 -2 in 1963? We went top of the League as the Huns lost to St Mirren.

We were 6 nil up at ht, 9 nil after 60 mins and looked like we were going to break the record. McIlroy missed a penalty to make it 10 shortly after, before the Bairns got 2 late consolation goals. 

Those first 65 minutes were the best I've seen us!
