Killie not a one-man team - McInnes

St Johnstone boss Derek McInnes claims there is more to Kilmarnock than Kevin Kyle - even though the big striker was the difference between the two sides in their last meeting.

Kyle grabbed a second-half double to give Killie their last win when the Perth side visited Rugby Park in October. The Scotland international has failed to hit the net since, as the Ayrshire side have slipped down the Clydesdale Bank Premier League to second from bottom, one point above Falkirk.

"Kyle is a very important player, there is no question of that, as are all goalscorers," he said. "We were comfortable in the first half when we played them down there but we never created enough chances."

He added: "In the second half we were disappointing and Kilmarnock deserved to win the game that day, with Kyle getting their two goals.

"But by no stretch of the imagination is he the only concern for us.

"Kilmarnock are a very experienced side and many of their players have been together in the SPL for a few years.

"They know how to churn out wins and we have to acknowledge that experience.

"Sometimes it is not always about playing well, it's about grinding out results as we did last week against Hamilton.

"It will be a very tight match with two teams going all out for three points.

"But we feel we can beat any team at home and hopefully we will use our home advantage this time."
