Kyle Vassell reveals Kilmarnock freedom as goal hero hails Derek McInnes and sets sights on top 6

His goals played a major role in Kilmarnock dodging the relegation trapdoor. But now Kyle Vassell has his targets set on striking down the gate to the top six next season - and with Derek McInnes at the helm the big striker is convinced they’ll do just that.

Despite being hampered by a knee injury Vassell played through the pain barrier and netted four times after the Premiership split in wins over Livingston, Dundee United and the Survival Sunday victory over Ross County. That 77th minute clincher against the Staggies was the 102nd of the 30-year-old’s wide ranging career that’s seen him play for 20 different clubs since breaking through at Brentford 13 years ago.

And he rates it up there with the most important. Vassell turned his short term contract into a two-year deal last month because he expects to be fighting at the top end of the table in the next campaign. And he said: “Where does that goal rank? It’s right up there. Essentially the game was like a cup final. We had to win because we couldn’t go out there with the mentality we just needed the point.

“I came here because I wanted the pressure, I enjoy it, I thrive on it. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy joining Kilmarnock. But it’s been a great decision.

“I came because I truly believed I could do well and especially playing for the gaffer. He gives me so much freedom.

“He doesn’t over-coach me. Obviously I have to do certain things for the team within the structure but he just lets me play my game and that’s why I’m enjoying my football so much.

“I have two more years of this and hopefully we can get better as a club and get up the other end of the league next season. I believe in what he’s trying to build. I want to be part of what he’s building.”
