Arranged to steal chicken then left with exotic birds (10)

Australian wingers run anti-clockwise but get no win. (10)

Can Les or someone please parse post 30 for me. I feel it's a subtractive anagram but just can't see it.

Originally hailing from Kilmarnock, I'm very interested and it's the only clue I can't figure out

Thanks:)

I'm glad you asked, RE!

Celtic & Kilmarnock kick off the match with passes out to the wingers (10)

Celtic & Kilmarnock start letters (kick off) = CK + the match = A tie / with passes = Cols - out (on the outside) the wingers = Def

Co ( [CK] + a tie ) ls

Byzantine, Les (as we would expect!).

Thanks Les - just wanted to make sure I get all the clues.

Mind you, I can't remember a match being tied between Killie and Celtic - we're usually thrashed :)

In other words , left after the Hen's party at the Australian birds (10)

I used 'the match' as a slight misdirection instead of 'a match' as they both work grammatically as 'The definite article' so should be cryptically correct in the end solve . Well, I thought it worked ok, not sure if all will agree
