Kilmarnock skipper challenges side to build on win over Aberdeen as they visit Hibs

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Kyle Vassell reckons their Boxing Day demolition of Aberdeen is proof that Kilmarnock can produce a quality display for the entire 90 minutes.The challenge now, he says, is to keep reproducing those levels.The skipper bagged an 18th minute opener against the Dons before second half strikes from David Watson, Innes Cameron and Bruce Anderson led to a 4-0 trouncing and ensured it was seven games without a win for Jimmy Thelin’s men.They’ll be looking to follow that up when they visit a resurgent Hibs side tomorrow.

The Easter Road outfit have picked up four wins in their last five games following a challenging start to David Gray’s tenure as gaffer.Vassell said: “It’s just been about putting two halves together and the Aberdeen game was the first one when we’ve really gone after a team.“We have gone up in some games then got cautious and invited pressure onto us.

This time we stayed aggressive, we stayed positive and fair play to the boys for taking their chance.“We have been knocking on the door.

Hearts was a great performance but that’s two 45 minutes put together this time.”He added: “It’s not just about doing it for one game.
