Kilmarnock have completed the signing of striker Allan Russell from Airdrie.

Jim Jefferies could not complete a January move for the 27-year-old before the transfer deadline but Russell promised then he would sign in the summer.

The former St Mirren player, who struck 26 goals this season, has moved to Rugby Park after seeing out his contract at Airdrie.

Jefferies admits Russell might not be the only new striker arriving at the club this summer.

"It's a two-year deal with the option of a third year if he meets certain criteria in the second season," said Jefferies.

"We still need another striker or maybe even two more as we need competition for places and some players may move on."
