Fan favourite Aaron Tshibola wants to lead by example as Kilmarnock strive for consistency this season.

With one match remaining in the first round of fixtures Killie are second bottom of the Premiership with eight points before tonight's trip to face Dundee.

London-born midfielder Tshibola signed for a fifth stint at Rugby Park after the World Cup in which he was a member of the DR Congo squad.

Having first joined on loan from Aston Villa when Steve Clarke was Killie manager in 2018, the 31-year-old finds himself as one of the senior figures at Rugby Park.

He said: "It's a challenge in itself, it's a difficult role. When I was a lot younger, I had peers who were tremendous at the club.

"Now, it's obviously on myself to pick up a bit more of a leadership role, having been here for such a long time. I want to pass down my experience and try to lead by example on and off the pitch to help the younger players."

Tshibola reckons Killie have what it takes to climb the table and pull away from the relegation zone.

"We've shown what we're capable of doing. We just need to find that continuity and consistency," he said.

"I definitely believe in the group of players and the staff that we have. I see what we do every single day on the training park.

"You don't win games if you're conceding goals and it's something we're definitely working on, tightening up as a team. We will correct our wrongs."
