St Mirren v Kilmarnock: Bell offers ringing approval of winter break

Cammy Bell has a tendency to look so relaxed between his posts that it was maybe a little mischievous of him to suggest he was keen to put his feet up during the winter break.

The Clydesdale Bank Premier League will bring the shutters down tomorrow to try and protect the fixture list from the vagaries of the weather, with play suspended until January 19.

The Kilmarnock goalkeeper will have enough to occupy his mind given he is in talks over a new five-year contract, while his general state of mind will be informed by whatever result his side come away with from the trip to face St Mirren this afternoon. Kilmarnock have punctured the assumption that consistency is the most elusive quality to their team having gone four matches without defeat – a run burnished by wins over Aberdeen and Hearts – and adding a fifth would allow them to remain based in the top six going into the break.
