1990–91
 →

The 1989–90 season was Kilmarnock's 88th in Scottish League Competitions.[7][8] They were promoted back to the Scottish First Division after one season in the bottom tier after a 2–1 win against Cowdenbeath F.C. in the last match of the season.[9][10]

The long running takeover saga ended when the Bobby Fleeting consortium took control of the club in December. The new board included former player Ronnie Hamilton and American millionairess Laurel Chadwick.[11]

On the field, Killie shocked Scottish football by signing Tommy Burns despite the player having offers from 4 Premier League clubs.[12]
