Rory McKenzie admits Kilmarnock’s historic league title win had him in tears.It’s the Rugby Park side’s first title since 1965 – and Ayrshire lad Rory McKenzie knows exactly what it means.He was part of the team that was relegated and the midfielder was desperate to put it right.And they did just that as Ash Taylor and Blair Alston’s late goals sealed a remarkable comeback in a memorable 2-1 win against Arbroath.Killie stalwart McKenzie said: “It was quite emotional when I saw my brothers, Craig and Fraser, at the end.“I was welling up and I was also lost for words.“I saw Craig running on at the end and I kissed him so hard I burst his lip!“I couldn’t stop thinking about what Saturday and Sunday would bring.“Would I be sitting in the house in a darkened room or would I be having a party?”McKenzie added: “In the second half I was just willing the ball in every time we got a corner.“Gaston just kept pulling off dave after save and I didnt think it was going to come.“We have had loads of chances but he’s pulled off three or four top saves.“You are starting to think it is not going to be your night.

But, what a finish from Blair. If there is a way to win the league then that is surely it.“To be fair to Arbroath – they played better football than us.“To be honest they had played better football than us in the three games between us this season.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now on iOS
