Nov 27th on the Rangers Pre-Match..."They have more money and bigger crowds and, along with Celtic, are the biggest team in Scotland. So if we played them 10 times and didn't win then that's only normal. However, we showed at home to Celtic we can still have a chance. If we turn in a good performance and have a little bit of luck anything is possible. St Johnstone and St Mirren have taken points from Rangers at Ibrox, after all. That gives everyone else the feeling they have a chance. It's been so long since we beat them at Rugby Park, this would be a nice time to make some history."

Oct 14th on the Celtic Pre-Match... "At home we have a good chance against every team but we need it to be a good day for us to beat them or even draw with them. Against Rangers and Celtic, you also need a bit of luck. The first thing we have to do is play with good organisation and work hard and then you can see if there are chances in the game to get a good result. Normally, at the start of the season, you would say a result against Rangers or Celtic is a bonus because they are the two big teams in Scotland. But, over the last few weeks, we have dropped some points against teams who we needed the points from. So this is a good opportunity for us, if we get a good result against Celtic, we take back the points we lost in the last few weeks.  Teams like Motherwell and Dundee United also want to be there and with Rangers, Celtic and probably Hearts already there, there are only three places for the rest of us. We have to prove to that we have enough quality to finish in the top six.  I'm in the squad and I trained last week for the first time since my injury, as well as this week, so hopefully it's enough for me to play on Saturday. It's been very frustrating for me. We had a good start to the season but in the last few weeks we have not had good results and it's really frustrating if you are in the stand with an injury. You have to show your qualities in training and also when you get the chance in games."

July 1st 2011.... Kilmarnock have signed former Feyenoord and Den Haag midfielder Danny Buijs on a one-year deal.

Beginning his career at Feyenoord, Buijs spent three years on loan at Excelsior before joining Groningen. After a return to Feyenoord, the Dutchman joined Den Haag and was linked with Derby before signing on at Killie.

Killie boss Shiels said ......."He's got great attributes to bring to the table, he's strong, committed and is a hard worker for the team, He was captain of ADO Den Haag who have just qualified for the Europa League from the Eredivisie in Holland and had three years at Feynoord. We're really glad to get him on board and it's testament to how well we've done that players of that calibre are attracted to come to Kilmarnock Football Club."

Buijs claims former Feyenoord team-mates and Old Firm players Pierre van Hooijdonk, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Michael Mols sold him on a move to Scotland.

"They were very positive about Scotland and this summer I had the opportunity to come here with Kilmarnock and had two options in England, And three weeks ago I was invited by Kilmarnock which was a great meeting and that's the reason I made my choice. I hope everyone at the club is positive about me and that we as a team can play in the top six. The guys who told me about Scottish Football are not only positive about the actual football but also about the people and living here which is important as I come here with my family."
