Kilmarnock had
a dreadful time of things last year, finishing second bottom - only four points
ahead of Aberdeen, and events at Rugby Park during the close-season suggest
that there could be more disappointment in store during the 2000-01 campaign.
Manager Bobby
Williamson tried to sign Gazza from Middlesbrough but, unfortunately or
fortunately for Killie, depending on how you look at it, Everton got there
first. You have to question the sense of Williamson who would have had to
sell Christophe Cocard in order to have financed the Gazza deal. Cocard
was one of the few successes at Rugby Park last season.

Instead, Williamson
signed bad-boy Andy McLaren from Reading - six months after being sacked
for drug use - hoping he can show a return to form. If McLaren can get his
act together, it may prove to be a shrewd piece of business. If not, all
is forgiven Gazza. Other newcomers to the Killy ranks include Craig Dargo
from Raith Rovers on a free transfer and Neil MacFarlane from Queen's Park
on a free transfer.

Killie are
always a difficult team to beat at Rugby Park, but they don't really have
the class to trouble the big guns. Williamson should do enough with the
capable players at his disposal to avoid the same relegation problems as
last season, although they are likely to finish in the bottom half of the
league. Fairly solid defensively but cursed with a major problem scoring
goals. As of yet, they really haven't taken any steps to sort that problem
out.
