Kilmarnock return to action against Hibernian on Saturday but manager Mixu Paatelainen has been busy during their enforced three-week break, tying up Liam Kelly on an extended contract. Midfielder Kelly has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal after establishing himself as an integral part of Paatelainen's team. The 20-year-old former MK Dons midfielder has scored two goals this season during an impressive start to the season for Paatelainen's men. Kelly said: "I'm delighted. As soon as he came to me about extending the contract, I was more than happy to do so. "Hopefully over the next two-and-a-half years we will take the club forward and I will improve as a player."
