Killie relishing the unknown
Kilmarnock manager Mixu Paatelainen is looking forward to the "adventure" of playing new-look St Mirren at Rugby Park.
Danny Lennon landed his first managerial post in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League when he moved from Cowdenbeath to the Paisley club in the summer.
He quickly returned to his former club to recruit four players as he revamped the Saints squad but Paatelainen, who could give a debut to new signing Alexei Eremenko, welcomes the unfamiliarity about the Buddies.
The former Hibernian boss said: "Having a new manager means they have new ideas as how to play. They have started the season very well. They have had a very tough opening three matches but they have managed to pick up four points.
"We have had them scouted and I have managed to see them a couple of matches "I don't think there will be too many surprises but it is always a new adventure when you play a new team with a new manager. I think it will be a very even game.
"Some people might say St Mirren is an easier game than against Celtic or Rangers but it's not, it's a very difficult match for us and we have to be on our toes to take anything from it. But it's three points at stake and that's what we want to do, accumulate as many goals as possible."
