Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 17 Oct, 19:20 · Archive

Greg Kiltie scored twice as Kilmarnock defeated Motherwell 3-2 to move off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership.

Greg Kiltie scored twice to lift Kilmarnock off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership with a 3-2 home victory over Motherwell. Kiltie struck in the second minute and again in the 69th minute as Neil McCann's side inflicted a fifth consecutive defeat on the Steelmen. Motherwell join Kilmarnock in the bottom three, one point above bottom-placed Hibernian.

Motherwell had a dominant spell after recovering from Kiltie's early opener. Goals from Alex Lowry and Seb Palmer-Houlden turned the game on its head. But Tyreece John-Jules soon equalised and Kilmarnock cut through Motherwell's defence before Kiltie knocked home the winner.

Motherwell manager Alfred Johansson said: 'I'm very, very disappointed and frustrated with how we end this game. It's extremely difficult to accept the fact that we lost this game. We have chances to score more than two goals but we can't rely on scoring three goals away from home. We need to be much more solid. It's just way too low a level, how we defend.'
