Lee Clark admitted it has been "men against boys" in Kilmarnock's last two games as the Rugby Park side suffered a second successive heavy defeat.

Aberdeen inflicted a 4-0 loss on Clark's side following on from last week's 6-1 humbling at the hands of Scottish Premiership leaders Celtic.

The former Birmingham and Huddersfield boss confessed that he expected more of a reaction from his players against the Dons on Saturday.

"It's been men against boys in the last two games," he said. "I thought we could bounce back from the Celtic game and I thought we could give a more spirited performance.

"I thought we did first half, I thought we went toe-to-toe with Aberdeen. I know they started brightly but we have created chances ourselves.

"But it became too easy in the end for Aberdeen. We are very, very disappointed."
