Kilmarnock Wealth of talent

It is good to be able to talk about our own players in international week. Stephen O’donnell featured in both Scotland’s matches, starting against Albania, and was arguably one of the best players on the pitch. I will be very surprised if he doesn’t retain his place against Israel.

We had a lot of fans worried about the lack of signings during the transfer window but it would appear that the wealth of talent Steve Clarke now has at his disposal should dispel their fears. We have not even seen some of the new players yet, and both Jack Byrne and Bright Enobakhare come with impressive reputations. With Greg Kiltie, Dom Thomas and Rory Mackenzie also knocking on the manager’s door again, the competition for places is intense.
