Disappointing, undercooked and half-baked.

Well, that's enough about Killie's performance last night...

The rise of veganism across the UK has been quite rapid in recent years.

The Vegan Society says that the demand for meat-free food in the UK increased by 987 per cent in 2017.

So it's no wonder that in addition to supermarkets and fast food outlets jumping on the bandwagon, football clubs would also follow the trend.

And now Scotland's very own Theatre of Pies could be one of the first football clubs in the country to launch their own vegan pie.

Provided by Brownings the Bakers, this new addition hit the Rugby Park food stalls last night as Killie took part in their first European game for 18 years.

The new matchday savoury, priced at £2.50, is filled to the brim with sweet potato, puy lentils and korma.

One football fan said after tasting it: "It was absolutely delicious.

"The pastry felt very fresh and was perfectly cooked outside and in.

"The filling was perhaps the best bit: the vegetables were all soft and supple and just melted in the mouth.

"The flavour from the pie tasted a bit like a fragrant curry - not too hot but not too bland either. Just right.

"There was plenty of eating in it for the price. Great to see the club making something for people who want to avoid meat and dairy at the football."

One in three Brits have stopped or reduced their meat consumption, according to the Vegan Society.

Even if Killie fans can't get over their early Europa League exit, there's bound to be a few heading back to Rugby Park to bag one of these new treats.
