KILMARNOCK have confirmed the signing of striker Allan Russell from Airdrie United.
Manager Jim Jefferies could not complete a January move for the 27-year-old before the transfer deadline but Russell promised then he would sign in the summer.
The former St Mirren player, who struck 26 goals for Airdrie this season, has moved to Rugby Park after his contract expired. Jefferies said: "It's a two-year deal with the option of a third if he meets certain criteria in the second season. We still need another striker or maybe even two more as we need competition for places and some players may move on."
It is still unclear whether the likes of Paul Di Giacomo and David Fernandez will remain at Rugby Park after the summer. "There are one or two strikers where we had options on their contracts if they played a certain amount of games," Jefferies added. "Injuries have stopped that happening. But, because of the season we have had, we are hoping to tie them up and renegotiate new contracts."
