I feared a heavy defeat in the build-up to the Rangers game.
In the past we have competed combatively and bravely against both Old Firm sides with some landmark victories but this season's struggles have put those heady days in the memory banks.
I really didn't get expect to get anything from those other than more in the goals against column.
It was a bit of shock when Livi's first goal went it. I couldn't believe it and was astounded when the second goal was scored too.
At 2-0 up you could tell a storm was coming as Rangers geared up for waves of attacks throwing on all of their forwards.
Cristian Montano has been one of the brighter performers for us this season but his sending off was the turning point.
It was such a nervy but exciting atmosphere in the stadium, the best all season probably, as Rangers huffed and puffed to break us down but got nowhere.
A team with Rangers' quality and players that cost £8m were likely to get something from the game and credit to their manager, he really went for it.
Obviously, it was disappointing to only come away with just one point but the positives shone through.
We defended brilliantly, putting bodies on the line and the effort levels were huge.
Well done to Marvin Bartley for getting that performance out of the team. It's a compliment to say it was one straight from the David Martindale handbook of Livi performances but with new parts added in too.
It's hard to escape the depressing league status and how Killie look like they've turned a corner but this type of performance gives hope to the fans and confidence to the players.
From trundling down to the stadium fearing the worst, I can't wait for the next game.
We need to see these levels and efforts from all the players, if we can do that then that chance Big Marv says we have might not just be a rallying cry.
