Killie captain begs for assistance in front of goal

Kilmarnock captain Kevin Kyle has went through a lot of strife in life so a missed penalty isn’t going to hurt him.

At the time, Kilmarnock were 2-0 down with time virtually up, so it was unlikely to be anything other than a consolation strike. However, after Kyle missed, Killie managed to grab a goal back and this left the Kilmarnock striker rueing what might have been.

Even though he has missed chunks of the season through to injury, Kyle is the club’s top goalscorer, with 6 in total and 4 in the SPL. His next nearest challenger in the SPL is Jamie Hamill, with two.

You can see why Kyle has issued a plea for his team-mates to get their goal-scoring boots on;

“When you’re playing well and not getting ahead it normally bites you on the bum, and that’s what’s happened.”

The form of Kyle has been enough to earn him a recall to the Scottish squad and his long-term future at Rugby Park will be questioned.

With the January transfer window looming large, there will be a number of clubs in the SPL and Championship who may fancy taking a punt on Kyle. Kilmarnock have serious debts to contend with and any reasonable transfer bid will have to be examined.

The thing is though, the cost of losing Kyle may be far greater than the money received for selling him.

8 goals at Rugby Park is not the lowest return for a home team in the SPL but the away form shows something very different. Kilmarnock have played six games away from home but have only notched one goal in the league. This has resulted in one draw and five defeats away from the home comforts of Rugby Park.

This tells the tale of why Kilmarnock are one point off the bottom of the SPL.
