So Stevie found himself in the second division for a season. But they stormed it, losing just five times and amassing 99 points to get promoted.

Next came Reading. He got them to their first cup semi-final in 88 years but was sacked after a year in charge. There were four months at Villa assisting Roberto Di Matteo, which we shall draw a veil over. After all these ups and downs, he took a year out before taking the ever glamorous Kilmarnock job in 2017. They were bottom of the league but ended up fifth with a record points total for the club.
They went on a nine-game unbeaten run a couple of years ago and are currently eight unbeaten, if they go 10, it’ll be their best since 1924. This might not sound like much but it is historically exceptional for glorious Scotia. His assistant manager is Geordie John Carver, who sounds and even looks like Brian Johnson of AC/DC; Austin MacPhee, whose nickname must surely be ‘Nanny’; and Steven Naismith; with Chris Woods doing the goalkeeping coaching gig.
