Shiels hoping his defensive worries ease before Saturday

KILMARNOCK are facing a defensive crisis ahead of their visit to Paisley on Saturday to play St Mirren.

Czech defender Zdenek Kroca is definitely out and will see a specialist after sustaining a knee injury in the win over Motherwell and there are also fitness doubts over Michael Nelson and Momo Sissoko.

With Manuel Pascali and Ryan O'Leary long-term injury victims, manager Kenny Shiels is limited for options at the heart of his defence while there are also fitness doubts over goalkeeper Cammy Bell.
