knew the midfielders had to chip in with some goals and even the defenders have stepped it up and scored a few more than last season.

“St Mirren have hit form and we’ll need to start better than we did last time.

Boss Clarke is reportedly on Fulham’s radar as they hunt for a replacement for Claudio Ranieri.

And Power joked the players will have to tie the 55-year-old down if the club can’t with the manager’s current deal running until 2021. The former Lincoln City man said: “I want to keep working with the gaffer. He has done a lot for me.

“He’ll always be linked with jobs. Hopefully the club tie him down and if not then I’m sure the players will!”

Flame-haired Power admits the heat in the Canary Islands didn’t suit him but insists the break did Killie the world of good.

The squad had to delay their departure by 24 hours when the SPFL forced them play Motherwell last weekend after fog caused the original game to be called off.

They battled out a 0-0 draw before flying out to Spain and Power said: “Tenerife was really good.

“It’s always nice to get a little break and a bit of sun on the face – although maybe that’s probably not the best thing for me!

“But the heat was nice for most of the lads. It’s nice to have a bit of time to yourself.”
