Villa make it one win in sixteen under Billy McNeill as Simon Stainrod becomes the latest player to deservedly receive the bird from the Villa crowd. Villa remain 21st but are now three points from safety.
Billy McNeill's Villa lose for the third successive game and the tenth time in sixteen games whilst winning once.
Villa now have just twelve wins in their last fifty three League games losing twenty six. As a result Villa were second from bottom, three points off safety and two points off the relegation play off place.
