Chris Burke supplied six assists as Kilmarnock eased into the Scottish Cup fourth round at the expense of League Two Queen's Park.

Kilmarnock, goalless since November and without a win in seven games, finally broke their duck when Alex Bruce headed in Burke's free-kick.

Stuart Findlay nodded in another two Burke deliveries before half-time in his first game since October.

Greg Kiltie, debutant Nicke Kabamba and Connor Johnson added the gloss.

Managing the club for the first time since being confirmed as the new boss, Alex Dyer could not have dreamt of a better start after a horrible end to last year.

Kilmarnock had failed to win in their previous seven matches and hadn't scored in six of those games.

Two new signings made their debuts - Harry Bunn looked tidy and creative on the left, while the powerful Kabamba came on and made an immediate impact with his scrappy goal from two yards out.

Kiltie's effort is encouraging for the home side given he is just back from a loan spell at Dunfermline, while English defender Johnson scored his first for the club.

Goalkeeper Jan Koprivec also made his first start despite being at the club for a few months. The Slovenian was rarely worked by a Queen's Park side that struggled to create chances for the in-form Salim Kouider-Aissa.

Ray McKinnon's men had two great wins going into this match but providing some sort of upset was just too much to ask on this occasion.

Kilmarnock manager Alex Dyer: "Very satisfied and it was a professional job. The early goal set the tone for the afternoon.

"Burkey's six assists is outstanding. It was just nice to win again and get some goals. Hopefully now we can move on a bit."

Queen's Park manager Ray McKinnon: "I'm extremely disappointed. We lost three goals from identical areas of the pitch, which was harsh because we'd done alright.

"To lose two goals in the last minute puts a bad reflection on it."
