From being a fringe player at Motherwell in the late 80s, early 90s with only a handful of outings to his name, Mark Reilly went to Kilmarnock and promptly became a fixture in their side. The highlight of his stay at Rugby Park was surely winning a Scottish Cup medal in 1997 when Killie beat Falkirk at Ibrox. Mark also had a brief stint at English side reading in 1998 under the guidance of Tommy Burns, but he soon returned back to Killie. Billy Stark snapped him up on a free transfer in 2002 for St Johnstone when the Perth side were starting their First Division season. He was a player who had attracted the attention of manager Billy Davies at one point but the player had rejected the chance to rejoin his first professional club.
