LeonPanikvar Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Kyle Lafferty is keen to stay at Kilmarnock beyond the summer as he hits the goal trail at Rugby Park. He’s on the 13th club of his time in football but the Northern Irish striker is hitting one of the hottest streaks of his career. Lafferty has scored 10 goals in eight games since joining Kilmarnock and his hat-trick midweek fired the club out of the Scottish Premiership relegation zone with a 3-0 win over Dundee United. On staying at Kilmarnock after his short-term deal, Lafferty said: “Obviously, I don’t want to be known as someone who just moves around saving clubs. It’s a nice feeling but I’d rather be with a team from the start of the season and enjoy the bigger picture, helping them into the top six or whatever. “I knew the manager before I came here, having worked with him in the Northern Ireland set-up. I’ve always had a good relationship with Tommy – I can have a bit of banter with him and he enjoys a bit with me as well. “He makes me feel wanted and he’s put a lot of trust in me, which is a big thing. I had a similar relationship with Michael O’Neill when he managed the national team and he got the best out of me as well. The more trust a manager puts in me, the more I’ll repay him. “I would 100% be prepared to stay here if we can stay up. I’m happy here, I’m near my family and I’m staying in my house so it ticks all the boxes. Once we’re certain to avoid relegation I’ll be more than happy to sit down with the owners and the manager to work something out.” Wright has praised the striker – but admits he won’t get him a dog in order to get Lafferty to stay: “You know what he can do, he’s a top player and he gives that extra quality at the top end of the pitch. He’s enjoying his football and he plays well with a smile on his face. “I’ve been really impressed and he’s probably in the best run of goals for a long time. The end of the season? Apart from the fact he told everyone that if we stay up I’m buying him a bulldog. I’ll be doing everything I can to keep him if we stay up. I’m sure once we get enough points we’ll be sitting down with him. “Am I buying him a dog? No chance. But I sense this could be a home for him. The relationship I’ve had with him makes me hopeful but I’m realistic if he keeps scoring other clubs with bigger budgets might come in for him.” https://www.nottheoldfirm.com/interview/kyle-lafferty-100-ready-to-stay-at-kilmarnock-as-tommy-wright-hails-striker/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The anti vaxxers, flat earthers etc. I can deal with and ignore but folk spreading rumours of Lafferty being injured would be a step too far! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think before yesterday there may have been an argument for this, but in all honesty now since the cup is now blown wide open, I think we should be giving it everything we have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prahakillie Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Just now, Last Atari Moron said: Survival > Cup all day long. But can we do both? The fixtures are reasonably well spaced and in some ways it would be better playing in the cup than having a couple of weeks between games. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Survival before cup semi-final. Well before yesterday i wouldn't have minded. But now the currant buns are out. Its an open competition we should aim to go all the way.

Prahakillie Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Surely the script is for Tommy Wright to lead Killie out against St Johnstone in the Scottish Cup Final. ? A bit like Totten in '97 (with hopefully a different outcome!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Whether he is injured or not, I doubt the club would want to make a statement and give St Mirren an idea of our team selection. Worryingly, the silence around this rumour is making me abit uncomfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuncD Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 Hopefully TW rests Lafferty tonight to keep him for the league matches which are more important. Give the other dud strikers a chance in the shop window so we can off load them as quick as possible and build a new squad pre season. -15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steppskillie Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 We should go for both. Can you imagine the lift it would give the players in the league. Effectively finishes St Mirren's season. We would also have players bursting g a gut to get a semi final place and who knows a Cup Final spot as well. 1997 we stayed up just and won the Cup no reason we can't do the same in 2021. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_dug Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 If the figures I've seen being quoted for qualifying for Europe in this new group format are anywhere near accurate it would be utter madness not to give the cup our full attention. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
