Kilmarnock have confirmed the signing of striker Allan Russell after his contract with Airdrie expired.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 year 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."
