Kyle Lafferty 'desperate' to face Celtic as Derek McInnes reveals 'star jumps and breakfast' plea

Kilmarnock forward Kyle Lafferty is so desperate to play against Celtic on Saturday that he's been doing 'star jumps' at Rugby Park.

That is according to Killie boss Derek McInnes who admitted the former Rangers hitman is vying for a starting spot when the Ayshire outfit face off against Ange Postecoglou's men at Hampden. It will be a Viaplay Cup semi-final for Killie against the holders, after McInnes' men lost 2-0 at Parkhead in league action last weekend. Jota and an Ash Taylor own goal were the difference in that meeting but it will count for nothing as the two sides get set to square-off once again at the national stadium.

The 35-year-old has been missing for Killie since he was slapped with a hefty ten-game ban by the Scottish FA But now the forward is available for selection and his club boss admits he's been reminding him of his presence in the build-up to Saturday.
