Stephen Robinson tells BBC Scotland he is "very proud" of his players' performance as they had Brann "rocking"."We score a brilliantly worked corner, a brilliant delivery from young Fraser Taylor and for 10 minutes, we had them rocking."Toy [Olusanya] slips over when he has a side-foot into the goal, the game could have been very different. The save from Oisin Smyth's effort too is a tremendous effort, credit to the goalkeeper. "The goals we concede, that's the big disappointment, every goal is preventable. Poor individual errors cost us tonight."I am very proud of them, proud of the fans and we've...

Kilmarnock’s grit in defence has shone once again.As soon as McInnes’ men took the lead in the Arctic Circle, there was a noticeable lowering of their defensive line as 11 bodies quickly dropped behind the ball for Tromso’s next attack.Club captain Kyle Vassell and young, surprise starter Bobby Wales both fluffed chances up the other end in the second half, but it never seemed to unsettle Killie.Every player held their shape well and rarely allowed Tromso a clear sight at goal, while also effectively slowing down play in the latter stages of the tie.The late introduction of Rory McKenzie was also inspired, as a late last-ditch challenge from the midfielder thwarted a promising Tromso attack.The Ayrshire side are now within touching distance of the league stage. And it’s down to their battling attitude and tactical nous when out of possession.
