2010-11 Season Player Quotes:

Nov 12th 2010...
Wright said: "If we can break into the top six that would be massive, especially with people at the start of the season tipping us for relegation. Any time you picked up a paper in the build-up to the start of the season it was us or St Mirren that were favourites to go down. So hopefully by the end of the season it would be good to prove people wrong.

"When you read it at the time it's a bit annoying because people didn't really know about the boys who were coming in or how the manager was going to play. Some of the pre-season games we did well, we were winning games and we drew with Blackpool.

"You could see the quality the gaffer had brought in so people didn't really know what they were talking about.

"From the first day the gaffer came in he told us how he wanted us to play. He wanted to pass it on the deck and that's what we've been doing. It's starting to pay off now.

"Before I would never have wanted the ball off the goalkeeper, now we're trying to get it off the goalkeeper all the time and build things from the back. So my game has changed a lot.

"It's good to be involved in the build-up and maybe start off a move that leads to a goal, so I'm enjoying it."

"We knew we were playing well, we were just making silly mistakes and losing games by the odd goal, We knew the goals were coming so we just had to cut out the mistakes and take our chances and that's what we have done in the last three games.

"The gaffer had a meeting with us and just said it was all about mental toughness and going out there thinking you weren't going to make a mistake. Since then everyone is covering for everyone. We are a tight-knit team and we are hard for teams to break down."

Apr 3rd 2011...Kilmarnock defender Frazer Wright will miss the rest of the season with a shoulder injury, according to caretaker manager Kenny Shiels.
The 31-year-old picked up the problem in the 0-0 draw with St Johnstone. Wright, who joined the Ayrshire club in 2005, has been a regular starter in the Killie first-team and has already made 31 appearances this season.

However, he was withdrawn after 85 minutes of Saturday's match in Perth after colliding with Danny Invincibile. Wright was left holding his right shoulder in the penalty box after the clash with the Australian striker who recently left Rugby Park for St Johnstone.

Wright's injury did allow for young Gary Fisher to make his Killie debut!

June 3rd 2011... St Johnstone have signed defender Frazer Wright from Scottish Premier League rivals Kilmarnock.


The 31-year-old was a free agent after his Rugby Park contract expired and has agreed a two-year deal.

Kilmarnock signed the left-sided central defender from Stranraer six years ago and had hoped to negotiate a contract extension.

He missed the end of last season after suffering a shoulder injury against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park in April.
