Galan Adds New Threat To Killie Strike Force
Any new players gives the opposition something to think about and Kenny Shiels is confident Jorge Galan will provide plenty food for thought Kenny Shiels has backed new signing Jorge Galan to be a hit in the SPL. The striker has moved to Rugby Park on a season-long loan from Spanish side Osasuna. And Kilmarnock manager Shiels is confident the young forward has what it takes to provide goals during his time with the club. He said: "He's a striker, he scores goals, he's quick and mobile and he brings a different type of striker to the table, that we needed. We've been working on it for a while and I'm pleased that we've got him. We've done our research and they've done their research on us as well and they are pleased that he's coming to us. He's 22 and he needs to kick on from now. He wants to play in this type of football where it gives him more in his tool box. He certainly looks as though he can progress from here." However, Shiels admits he is sweating over the player's availability ahead of tomorrows game with Hibs. He went on: "It's been agreed in principle, it's just a few loose ends that have to be tied up and then we've got him on board. With international clearance and things like that, we don't know how soon he is going to be ready in terms of registration. It will probably be next week for the Hearts game." Shiels is largely satisfied with the players he now has at his disposal but is still keeping his options open to new faces being added. He said: "I think we are just about tied up with covering every position now. There is one possibly coming in over the next two days." Kilmarnock are still on the look out for their first win of the season - and Shiels' first competitive win since taking over from Mixu Paatelainen. He said: "Hibernian have signed four players since their last game. They have brought in some very good players and they have added to what they had. Certainly, they are on a mission and they have made a top-six investment. I'm sure that will be a big challenge for us on Sunday. We are just trying to get a victory as we do in every game. We go in with that attitude and motivation."
