Assistant coach Paul Sheerin has been speaking to the media prior to Kilmarnock's return to Premiership action at St Johnstone on Saturday.

Here are the key lines:

  • Admits having so many international breaks has made the season feel "a bit stop-start" but the players have had a chance to "rest, recuperate and reset".

  • Sheerin says the team will improve their league position if "we can find the consistency we are looking for".

  • "The belief has not gone" in the squad as they eye European qualification for a second successive season, he adds.

  • The coaching staff have recognised the changes Simo Valakari has implemented at St Johnstone and understand "what a difficult opponent they will be".

  • Sheerin confirms there are no injury concerns for the trip to Perth.
