Rugby Park favourite Alan Power is closing in on a return to Kilmarnock.

Boss Derek McInnes is keen to bring the Irishman back to Ayrshire following the expiry of his contract at St Mirren.

The 34-year-old is midfielder is on the verge of signing a one-year deal to rubber stamp a second stint at the club.

Power previously had a successful five year stint at Kilmarnock where he helped them back into Europe under Steve Clarke.

He only left Killie after they were relegated under Tommy Wright.

Surely no. Played just about every game for the buddies but he’s 34 might as well have kept Mcginn 

[Mr Lyons Snr]

If McInnes thinks he can get something out of him then I’m all for it

Have to agree, he would give us some bite in the middle, but McGinn is a better baller.

I don’t see how he fits in to the midfield. Obviously he brings more bite and aggression. He’s not the anchor we are looking for, not the passer or the energetic box to box.

Hope it goes well but very surprising.

Absolutely loved Alan Power, one of my favourite Kilmarnock players. He wasn't good in his last season here in a terrible side, looked well off the pace. If he comes back I'd be surprised if he is a regular starter, would love to get another season out of him at the top of his game but I can't really see it.

Almost every minute of every game too so his fitness and discipline seem okay.

We need more youth and pace though with the likes of Taylor and Stokes in central defence.

Sums it up for me , have to trust DM …..IF this is true then it’s a 1 year deal for an experienced player , who knows if he will be a starter for us or not ……feel we could see at least a couple of central midfielders signed this summer

I’d say on the ball it’s about equal. They both have that natural silkiness but power brings more than just that imo

No thanks! 

[mitch14]

Not convinced by this. Trusted player as backup? 

[Bellman2010]

He’ll bring at but more bite than McGinn, not overly enamoured at the prospect, but I’ll trust the managers judgement. 
 

Don’t think he’ll be much more than a squad player in any case. 

[Armstrong86]

Everyone excited to see who McInnes brings in then this. 

[bgb02burns]

No thanks from me. Last season yes, next season no. 

[capitalkillie]

Think there are rose-tinted specs for McGinn who i thought struggled in many games in the championship. Power a better player imo.

[Bonbon19]

Slower than me and couldn’t wait to leave us last year . No thanks 

[CB]

Coach as well, maybe? What if Burke has asked for him to be his number 2 at an age range, or the women's team?

[Gaffer]

Not for me, going back seldom works although obviously you get some examples where it does, like Kris Boyd and Kyle Lafferty. 

[Thebigguy68]

Excellent news

[Bbk]

Surelyb DM will have better options?
