Hamill: Only way is up

Kilmarnock midfielder Jamie Hamill believes his struggling side have turned a corner after a battling display against top of the table Rangers.
The Rugby Park side may not have come out of the game with a share of the points, but Hamill believes that the team are playing better then ever this season.
He said: "We were disappointed to lose 2-0, but Rangers had a few chances early on and, if Darcheville's effort had gone in early doors, Rangers could have gone on and on.
"I felt we played well against them, we passed the ball about well and it was a good all-round team performance."
The 21-year-old believes that with the arrival of striker Paul Dalglish, a place in the top half of the table is not out of reach for Jim Jefferies' men.
"If we continue to play the way we did against Rangers I don't see why we can't be in contention of a top-six place at the end of the season," he added.
"We've just to keep battling away and doing the best we can.
"Paul's trained with us a couple of times and done well. He has a few nice touches and I'm sure, with a few reserve games under his belt, he'll give us another option up front."
