WE'RE BUNCH OF ROASTERS

Kyle: I'm not afraid to dig out my Killie pals on pitch to get result and they're not scared of giving me a hard time either

KYLE VASSELL insists he has no problem blocking out the noise from the critics because Kilmarnock are turning up the volume on each other on the pitch.

The Killie skipper was instrumental in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Hearts at Tynecastle as he set up Matty Kennedy's equaliser before bundling home the winner himself.

But a moment early in the second half leading 1-0 with Hearts seemed to spark the fightback.

Vassell launched a tirade at keeper Robby McCrorie and his defenders from the halfway line after a ropey clearance almost gifted the Jambos a second goal.

The fact it came at a stoppage in play meant the entire ground heard his explosion. Minutes later Killie were level when Vassell outmuscled Frankie Kent to tee up Kennedy before the powerful hitman completed the turnaround with his close-range finish shortly after the hour mark.
