After last night's shock defeat to Stenhousemuir, Kilmarnock manager Kenny Shiels is now having to contend with Everton chasing the signature of teenage forward Matthew Kennedy. The Toffees have reportedly made a £250,000 bid for Kennedy, who has impressed during the opening games of the season. Shiels says Kennedy's head has been 'pickled' by the prospect of moving to Goodison Park, but has suggested he would be better off staying at Kilmarnock. Shiels said: "The boy's head has been pickled with talk of Everton. There are negotiations taking place at the top end of each club. I have spoken to Matty's father and told him what I think is the best thing for his son's career. A young lad's career is the most important thing here, not finances."
