Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes wants his young strikers to step up

Derek McInnes insists Kilmarnock’s young attackers should be ready to take their chance if pitched in against St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park on Saturday.

Killie will again be without experienced forwards Kyle Lafferty, who is serving a 10-game ban for using sectarian language, and Christian Doidge, who will miss another couple of matches with an ankle injury.

Innes Cameron led the line in the 1-0 cinch Premiership win over Ross County at Rugby Park last weekend but the Kilmarnock boss noted that Oli Shaw and highly-rated 17-year-old Bobby Wales, yet to make his debut but was on the bench against the Staggies, should also be ready to make their mark.
