Those fans were bathed in the late autumn sunshine for most of the afternoon and what they witnessed was the latest of the manager's permutations. In the post-match conference he expressed his delight at the result and the bonus that it came while he was still on the learning curve.
Fancy dress in Kilmarnock
It seems that he sees more experimentation ahead as his familiarisation with players and formations continues. If the team keeps improvng there will be many more happy Saturdays ahead.
It was no surprise to discover that Kilmarnock's manager felt the result was harsh on his team. It looked like a goalless draw was the likely result and there would have been no complaints.
The goal was hardly a classic but that did not matter to the 637 fans at the other end of the pitch. A throw-in was headed on by Moult and captured by Fletcher with his back to goal. A roll back let Pearson have a blast from 16 yards and the blocked gave Moult the chance to win the game.
Inverness come to Fir Park next Saturday ahead of another free weekend break to accommodate the international calendar. The teams share ninth place and a win would have us moving up the table.
