Kilwinning Rangers boss Chris Strain keen to recapture early season form as duo depart

Chris Strain is hoping Kilwinning Rangers can recapture their early-season form and string three league wins together for the first time since July.

The Buffs host bottom dogs Bonnyton Thistle tomorrow looking to build on impressive wins against Glenafton and Auchinleck.

But boss Strain insists there can be no room for complacency against the East Ayrshire outfit who are fighting for their WoSFL Premier lives.

He said: “Bonnyton have found it difficult to cut their teeth in this division but they are still a good side.

“If you’re not at your best against any team in this league you can come a cropper.

“The goal for us is to try and keep the winning run going. Three games in a row is something we haven’t done for a while.

“We’re close to having our best starting 11 available again and we must try to kick on.

“We’ll be eight points behind leaders Pollok if we can win our games in hand.

“While it’s still maybe a big ask, we don’t want to have any regrets come the end of the season because we’ve dropped silly points.

“I know what this team is capable of and the onus is on us on Saturday to get the three points."

Earlier this afternoon, Kilwinning confirmed that midfielder David Anderson has joined Premier Division rivals Kilbirnie Ladeside for an undisclosed fee.

Defender Ross Smith has also left the club by mutual consent after toiling with injury this season.

Meanwhile, Gavin Miller and Jordan Stuart have agreed new deals to keep them at Kilwinning until 2024 and 2025 respectively.
