Kilmarnock striker Dean Shiels is unlikely to be called into action to play Dunfermline this weekend, but his father, Kenny Sheils is hopeful that Liam Kelly will be fit for purpose.
Shiels, who has scored six times in 16 appearances in the league this season, is still suffering from a bruised foot that he picked up in the 2-1 win over Aberdeen. Shiels senior said: "Dean is in the treatment room.
He is struggling for this weekend but we'll just need to wait and see with him." On a more positive note, Kelly is expected to feature at East End park having shaken off a debilitating virus. The manager went on: "We're hopeful he will be okay and it would be good to get him back as he's a good player.
Liam was floored by a virus that went around the club. Leon Panikvar and Momo Sissoko both had it and Billy Berntsson has it just now. But we hope it is away now and no-one else will get it."
