This report from the TeamTalk website...

Sheffield Wednesday suffered their first defeat of pre-season, losing 2-1 against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday. The Owls started well and dominated much of the first half-hour against their Scottish Premier League opponents.

But it was the home side who took the lead in the 33rd minute when Alan Mahmood drilled a volley past Kevin Pressman after Wednesday had failed to clear a corner.

Within two minutes Terry Yorath's men were level when Paul McLaren fired home.

Half-time: Kilmarnock 1-1 Owls

The game was won in the 65th minute when former Rangers and Scotland striker Gary McSwegan headed home. Wednesday fought hard to get back into the game and Leon Knight and Shefki Kuqi both went close to an equaliser in the closing stages.
