Greg Kiltie's 61st-minute strike was enough to give Kilmarnock a 1-0 win over Hamilton Academical in the League Cup, with Mark O'Hara the standout player, and it sets up a trip to Peterhead in the next round. It was a tight, scrappy affair that never really caught fire, with neither side able to impose themselves in a first half that ended goalless.
