Season overview
Kilmarnock started their league campaign on 10 August 1991 at home against Stirling Albion where the game finished a scoreless draw.[9] Over the next eight games they only recorded one win against Meadowbank Thistle. Into September Kilmarnock form picked up with four wins on the bounce. This form continued into November with a notable 4–2 home win against Forfar Athletic, with two goals from Ross Jack and two from Ally Mitchell.[10] Wins, draws and a few losses from November into December and the start of January. On 7 January 1992 the Kils hosted Montrose where they had a comfortable 5–1 win.[11] After that game Kilmarnock then lost three games in a row. After the February break Kilmarnock won eight of their next 12 games allowing them to finish in 4th place. They narrowly missed out on promotion to the top-tier Premier Division.[12][13]
There wasn't much success in the cups this season. In the League Cup Kilmarnock won away at Cowdenbeath but lost in the next round to Hibernian. In the FA Cup they played two games against Meadowbank Thistle, the first being a draw that required a reply. The reply went to extra time and then penalties only for Kilmarnock to get kicked out of the competition 4–3 on pens.[14]
Kilmarnock were drawn away to Greenock Morton in the Challenge Cup. After extra time they were kicked out of the competition after the game finished 2–1 in Greenock Morton's favour.[15]
