Shallow pool leads Kennedy to be thrown in at deep end

'GROW up." The words are repeated as if they are being delivered as a mantra; each time invoking Matthew Kennedy to swell his chest and sit taller in his chair.

The 17-year-old is a diminutive figure but he seems likely to be asked to bear a heavy burden for Kilmarnock as they kick off their Clydesdale Bank Premier League campaign against Dundee this afternoon. Doing so will require him to do a bit more than simply present himself as physically larger, but at least Kennedy seemed eager to give it a go.
