Kilmarnock chairman Michael Johnston has vowed to do everything in his power to keep Kevin Kyle at Rugby Park.

The former Sunderland star has spoken of his desire to return to England after scoring 14 times in only 23 appearances since arriving at the club in January.

But Johnson said: "He's one of the players that we want to keep even though we're going to have to make cuts in the playing squad for next season.

"There's no other way round it and other clubs will be in the same position.

"Kevin Kyle did very well for us last season, scored crucial goals and you could say helped save us from relegation, so I'd fight very hard to keep Kevin Kyle and hopefully he'll want to stay."
