Killie heads into the international break with a renewed sense of optimism, having secured consecutive victories against Hearts and struggling Livingston.
Central to these successes has been a significantly improved defense, with two clean sheets providing a solid foundation for earning six valuable points.

It’s worth noting that the management duo of Neil McCann and Billy Dodds has yet to receive the recognition their hard work deserves.
Stuart Kettlewell assembled a squad that seemed destined for the Championship, leaving fans feeling disheartened after a disappointing loss at Pittodrie in December.
Following several more weeks of lackluster performances, McCann was brought in to turn things around, though his initial reception from fans was somewhat tepid.
His signings in January showed promise, and he is gradually winning supporters over as the team adopts an appealing style of football and secures victories.
