Emerging in the annals of history in 1869, Kilmarnock has the distinct honour of calling The BBSP Stadium Rugby Park their sporting fortress. This historic venue, nestled in the heartland of Scotland, has long reverberated with the echoes of players' boots striking balls and the jubilant cries of home supporters.
Per the digital sport pages of Transfermarkt, there's about a round figure of £8m worth of footballing talent milling about in the corners and corridors of Kilmarnock's locker rooms. Slight, perhaps, when compared to some of the more monetary-bloated teams in Mighty Albion, but a not insignificant sum nevertheless.
There are 36 gents sporting the Kilmarnock colours at the present time, a colourful band with an average age of 25 years old. Young enough for strength and vitality, old enough for wisdom and cunning. A most desirable mix in the unpredictable world of football.
As for this season's perambulations, Kilmarnock has had a go in three different fields of competition. Highest among these pursuits was a respectable 11th place finish in the Premiership. They then bounded all the way to the Quarter-Finals in the League Cup, and made it as far as the Fourth Round in the Scottish Cup.
