Jefferies seeks strike boost

Kilmarnock boss Jim Jefferies has his sights set on an experienced striker to help his squad out in the January transfer window.
A 1-0 loss at Hamilton Academical was enough to persuade Jefferies that he needs to strengthen, with Killie having scored just 14 goals in 16 SPL games so far this season.
Jefferies told The Herald: "We're finding goals hard to come by just now. When we do create chances, we are not taking them.
"The rest of the team - defensively and the midfield - is fine but it's not happening for us up front at the moment, whereas it was earlier in the season. But we just need to keep working away.
"We were used to have the likes of Kris Boyd, Steven Naismith and Colin Nish and they would have scored for us against Hamilton Academical on Saturday.
"So I'd like to bring a striker with a bit of experience who has played in the SPL next month."
