Scott Robinson admits he’s desperate to show Kilmarnock fans what he can do – after a failed Rugby Park stint first time around.
The attacker was played in defensive midfield by Gary Locke but before his first season finished he was released and went down to League One in a bid to prove himself at Dunfermline Athletic and East Fife.
But after lighting up the Scottish Premiership with Livingston last season, Killie took a punt on him again.
And Tommy Wright knows his best position is up front which suits Robinson, left, down to a T. That proved to be the case as he bagged two goals against Hamilton in Killie’s 2-0 weekend cinch Championship win.
“The gaffer knows what I’m about,” he said. “I think I suit his style and if we can keep doing that and keep getting the best out of me I’ll get more chances and more goals.”
“If you ask the fans, I’m just completely different,” he added. “I was playing in a wrong position, a deeper midfield role.
“It’s never been me. I’ve always been itching to prove myself in a forward position. It just happened to be I filled in there at the time.
“I’m not one to moan where I play, I’m happy to play wherever for the gaffer but I’ve always wanted to stamp my place up front. Thankfully, I’ve done that now.”
Robinson ended up having a tough time of it towards the end of his spell at Livingston, and it led to him training by himself when he left in a bid to win a deal elsewhere.
He said: “It’s been tough, it’s been a hard time but these things happen in football, you just have to take it on the chin and move on. I’m just looking to kickstart my career here now.
“You just have to deal with these things. It’s politics in football if you like. I just wanted a fresh challenge. What’s happened there is in the past now. I am just glad to be here at this club and do well for this club.”
