St Mirren ran at the Smisa stadium to cause a bruise of 5-1 defeat on the fighting Kilmarnock.
The Paisley Party dominated the OFF and found 2-0 up inside the opening nine minutes due to the low strike Caolan Boyd-Mune and Roland Idowu’s punishment.
Boyd-Munce doubled his sum in the 58th minute before the captain of Saints Mark O’Hara and Declan John found a net during a four-minute spell to accumulate further suffering at visitors.
Bruce Anderson’s late punishment offered little comfort to the men of Dereka Mcinnes.
St Mirren moved to the seventh and to the heart point to the final six place.
Both teams had to cope with the driving rain and the wind in the excavation, although the hosts would start blisters.
In the sixth minute they broke the blocking with the first effort of the match. Jonah Ayung laid the ball on the Boyd-Munka, who found a net with a low blow to Robby McCorie from just in front of the box.
Things were still improving for the saints when they were fined a minute later after Ayung was determined that Lewis Mayo was felled.
Idowa got off to take a score and coldly send the goalkeeper in a wrong way to double his benefit with only nine minutes on the lesson.
Killie had a huge opportunity to reduce his arrears in the 24th minute, but Liam Polworth would head from Liam Donnelly to the back of Liam Donnelly.
Mcinnes introduced David Watson instead of Brad Lyon at half -time when he seemed to evoke some life on his fighting party.
But it was St Mirren, which looked becoming more likely. In the 52nd minute, Richard Taylor caught up with the Boyd-Munce’s Cross just to be rejected by the two yards out.
Five minutes later, a good stop from McCorie diverted Ayunga’s strike behind, but it would turn out that it would be just a temporary retribution for visitors.
John’s delivery from the resulting corner was cleaned only to the edge of the box and the boyd-Munka was perfectly placed to sweep home the second afternoon.
Men Rugby Park lasted a stormy afternoon and the matters deteriorated until it deteriorated when Captain Saints O’Hara drilled to the lower corner of the 66th minute after some amazing mass game.
The saints continued to throw men forward looking for more destinations and the remaining 21 minutes John added his name to the score after defeating Killie’s guardian in his close post with a strong angle.
Four minutes from the end, Anderson converted from the place of Taylor’s foul to Joe Wright.
However, this offered little to encourage the fans who stayed to express their anger in their team’s performance.
What the managers said …
Assistant St Mirren Brian Kerr: “The show was excellent, I think it should have been honest.
“Over the past seven or eight weeks, we had several really good performances without backup.
“He just felt that everyone was a bang today, we had a really good feeling about how the boys were preparing.
“Everything joined, it was the right good performance and the result.”
Manager St Mirren Derek Mcinnes: “It was such a disappointment in the afternoon, we never got into the beginning.
“I can only apologize to supporters – they deserve better than that. The conditions were terrible, more for my players in the wind, but it’s not an excuse.
“I think we’ll (stay), I think we’re better than some teams in the league. I feel like we have a bigger and better performance in us.
“It is obvious that we will be in the lower six, the only team we play that will not be in us and around us will be Celtic.”
