Ex-Rangers forward Steven Naismith is reportedly the 'frontrunner' to take over from Derek McInnes at Kilmarnock.
The 53-year-old is set to take over at Heart of Midlothian this summer, leaving the Rugby Park hotseat vacant.
And Naismith, who scored 33 goals and assisted 30 across Rangers appearances, is the leading candidate to take charge of Kilmarnock, claims RecordSport.

McInnes confirmed today that Hearts and the Rugby Park outfit had reached an agreement over his future: "I think sometimes these things come along in life and I've always been open with the club," he said.
"I'm really enjoying my time here and until such time something maybe can make you think twice about that, about maybe trying something else, you just concentrate on the job at hand.
"I was informed yesterday that the club's had reached agreement and talks are ongoing with that. But I've also reiterated to the club today that I intend to be here for the last two games and I need to make sure that that message is loud and clear to my players, to everybody: we deal with what's in front of us now – and we can pick up on the week after."
McInnes' Kilmarnock take on Motherwell and his future employers, Hearts, before the season is out.
