"One of the first things on the new manager's to-do list is improve the squad. And McCann - who told Kilmarnock's club media he has "absolutely" been looking at who he can bring in - knows it. He also understands how tricky a window January is, adding "there's no guarantees that someone will come in, so I need to look at what I've got right here, under my nose, and try and improve us.""
"Only St Mirren (16) have scored fewer goals in the league - having played two games fewer - so a forward must be near the top of the list. Bruce Anderson, David Watson and Tyreece John-Jules are the club's joint-highest goalscorers in the league with three. They have sorely felt the losses of Kyle Vassell, Danny Armstrong and Fraser Murray in the summer, while injury to Djenairo Daniels early in the season scuppered hopes he might fill the void."
Kilmarnock sit second-bottom in the Scottish Premiership, winless in 14 matches and criticised by supporters for poor performances. Neil McCann has been appointed manager with Billy Dodds as assistant and faces an urgent need for improvement, starting with a crucial away fixture at Livingston. The squad has a severe goalscoring deficit, with only St Mirren scoring fewer league goals and the leading scorers on three each. Summer departures of Kyle Vassell, Danny Armstrong and Fraser Murray and an early injury to Djenairo Daniels have left the forward ranks depleted. McCann recognises January recruitment will be difficult and plans to maximise resources already at the club.
