Alex is double trouble

Killie kid Alex Burke blasted his side off the bottom of the Premier League - and increased Bobby Williamson's claims to be given the Rugby Park manager's job on a permanent basis.

The 19-year-old winger made a dream first start for the strugglers, with two stunning goals to sink second-placed Dons.

Fellow youngster Mark Roberts added a third in the dying seconds.

And from the way the crowd chanted caretaker manager Williamson's name, it was clear who the Killie punters want to mastermind their club's relegation escape bid.

Killie mounted wave after wave attacks and the Ayrshire men took the lead in the 11th minute.

Billy Findlay found space on the edge of the box and floated the ball to the unmarked Burke, who crashied a stunning volley past the helpless Walker.

And a minute from the break Billy Dodds couldn't believe it when he had a goal disallowed for offside.

The home side went further ahead with a stunning second in the 57th minute when Burke came haring in to bullet a header beyond Walker.

Killie added a third when substitute Mark Roberts stroked a cross past a helpless Walker from 15 yards out.
