Jamie Brandon has stressed the importance of building on Kilmarnock's second Premiership win of the season when they travel to Falkirk on Saturday.

Killie's 3-2 victory over Motherwell at Rugby Park last weekend took Neil McCann's side off the bottom of the table by one point, their place taken by Hibernian, who lost at home to the Bairns.

Brandon knows the importance of using that welcome win as a platform.

The 28-year-old defender said: "I think we've been performing well throughout this season and maybe not getting the results we feel we deserved.

"With wins comes confidence, we obviously got that win at Easter Road (1-0) as well which I think was massive.

"So I think we're starting to go in the right direction. It has to be (backing that up). It's always about the next game and trying to get three points from that.

"It will be a difficult game. Falkirk are a good team, they have showed this season that they have a variety to their play as well, where they can play different styles.

"Against Hibs, they sat deeper and hit on the break. They are a good team so we expect it to be a difficult game."

Brandon took over from injured MJ Kamson-Kamara after just 33 minutes against Killie and hopes to have done enough to keep his place.

The former Hearts and Livingston player said: "Like any footballer you want to play every game, you want to start every game.

"When you are watching the game you are paying attention to everything that is happening, looking at their weak points and strong points as well.

"I wasn't expecting to go on at 30 minutes, not many people do, but I was delighted when I came on and did well in the game.

"Everyone wants to play as many games as possible and it is another opportunity to go and put points on the board."
