Kilmarnock midfielder Brad Lyons flicked in the first-half opener
Kilmarnock ensured their Scottish Premiership survival with a rousing victory over Ross County whose fate will now be decided in the relegation play-off.
Derek McInnes' side needed just a point but collected all three to finish in 10th place and guarantee they avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
Brad Lyons and a Daniel Armstrong penalty either side of half-time cemented the hosts' superiority and Kyle Vassell made sure of victory after Yan Dhanda's spot-kick had reduced the arrears.
County, who finish three points above bottom club Dundee United, never looked like salvaging the win they required and will now face Championship side Partick Thistle in the two-legged Premiership play-off final.
