Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston has hailed his team after their 2-0 win over Scottish Premiership leaders Dundee United this evening.

Second-half goals from Temitope Ayoluwa Obadeyi and Mark Connolly secured the three points for Johnston's side, and extended their unbeaten run to four games.

"It was a real team effort and I'm delighted to get the three points and see how much it meant to the players," Johnston told reporters.

Kilmarnock return to league action with a trip to face St Johnstone on October 18.
