Kilmarnock will have to be on their guard tomorrow when they come up against former striker Kevin van Veen - because despite failing to find the net for the Rugby Park side, assistant boss Paul Sheerin insists the Dutchman showed just how good he is every day in training.
The former Motherwell man arrived on deadline day at the end of the winter transfer window but was seen as a flop in Ayrshire as he played just 218 minutes for the club.
But the 33-year-old will be desperate to show he remains a top talent and could make his St Mirren debut against his old team on Saturday.Sheerin admitted the striker’s time in the blue and white stripes didn’t exactly go as planned, but said his presence did push both Kyle Vassell and Marley Watkins to even greater heights and credited the Dutchman for helping Killie land a Europa League spot.Sheerin said: “I think Kev’s a brilliant talent and he showed that on the training ground.“What happened when Kev came in is Marley and Vassell.
