Eamonn Brophy has vowed to get back on the goal trail as his side head to St Johnstone this weekend.
The 23-year-old striker has found goals hard to come by, scoring just one from open play in 2019.
But he admits it’s not the first dry spell he has had – and says he’s overcome droughts before.
Kilmarnock have scored just one goal in the regulation 90 minutes over their last five competitive matches, but Brophy reckons they are due to turn the corner.

“There was disappointment getting knocked out from Connah’s Quay Nomabds, then we lost a late goal to Rangers.
“Obviously the Hamilton games weren’t too pretty to watch.
“It hasn’t been a great start to the season but it’s still early doors and there’s a long season ahead so we need to try and stay positive.
“The performances have been there and we have had plenty of the ball, but all that matters is the results.
“We have not been getting them, and we haven’t been scoring goals.
“Obviously I am the one with the No 9 jersey so I have to take a bit of the heat for that. I am confident we will start scoring again, we just need to stay confident.”
Brophy insists he doesn’t feel any pressure as he dons the No 9 jersey after being handed it following Kris Boyd’s retirement.
Brophy said: It comes with pressure, but at the end of the day it’s just a number.
“Obviously I am the No 9 so I am expected to score the goals, hopefully I can start scoring goals again.
“I am confident in my ability and I am sure that will come.
“I have never doubted
