The 2021-22 campaign delivered a glorious return to the top flight for Kilmarnock as The Killie, under the leadership of Derek McInnes, clinched the Scottish Championship title at the first time of asking. The season culminated in a dramatic promotion sealed with a 2-1 comeback win against rivals Arbroath in front of a jubilant, packed Rugby Park crowd. Spearheading the charge was the prolific Oli Shaw, whose 14 league goals anchored a side built on determination and resilience. It was a triumphant year that marked the club's resurgence and remains a defining chapter in the history of The Killie.
