The 1-1 draw means there are just five points left between the top five, with Killie missing the chance to go top due to Ross Docherty’s late equalizer which frustrated the new Rugby boss Park, Derek McInnes.
He said: “Overall on performance, we’re happy to come away with one point, but when you’re in a winning position with so little time, you’re disappointed not to take all three.”
Meanwhile, Ian McCall has been baffled by Nick Walsh’s decision to award Killie a penalty after Richard Foster was found responsible, calling it a “shock”.
“I don’t know what Richard is supposed to do,” he said. “His hand is not in an abnormal position. It is on the side of his body.”
