Fraser Murray says Kilmarnock are in it to win it as winger eyes Challenge Cup

Determined Fraser Murray insists Kilmarnock want to win every trophy they compete for.

The Ayrshire side’s hunt for the league title continues this weekend at home to Hamilton Accies – but before then they have a Rugby Park date with Raith Rovers in the SPFL Trust Trophy semi-final tonight.

And the Killie winger, who made his debut for Hibs and scored in the competition, says they are in it to win it.

He said: “We are in it to win it 100 per cent. I know we want to win the league and get promoted, but at the same time everyone wants to win a trophy.

“It’s a hard game in the semi-final, so we won’t look too far ahead, but if you win this competition it gives you a good bit of excitement and a feelgood factor to hopefully kick on in the league as well. It’s a win-win.

“We don’t want to be in the cup next year – but the Colts can defend it if we win it!

“But it’s a semi-final now, it doesn’t matter what competition you are in you want to win it.

“Every player, every manager, every fan wants to celebrate a cup win.”

Despite the last-four clash being at home, Murray doesn’t reckon that will make too much difference in a one-off cup clash.

He said: “It is an advantage, but at the same time it’s a cup competition. Most people look at it differently because it goes to extra-time and penalties.

“It’s completely different from a league game, it doesn’t matter if it’s home or away, it’s just on the day whatever happens you take it from there.”
