Founded in 1869, Kilmarnock Football Club are a proud stalwart of the Scottish football landscape, plying their trade at the BBSP Stadium Rugby Park. Much like the melodious lilt of a bagpipe, the echo of a thudded ball or vociferous cheer rings out from this arena nestled in Scotland's quaint town of Kilmarnock.
According to Transfermarkt, the totality of Kilmarnock’s playing squad has a market value of just shy of £7m. Yes, you read it right, £7m, a not too shabby meaningful, aggregated value from a modest yet precious squad of lads.
Consisting of a team of 18 lads, you might say Killie are somewhat lean. The average age of this fresh-faced collective clocks in at 25, a prime age for a footballer, one might surmise. Nimble legs, determined minds and a pinch of wisdom. Youth and vigour coming together as a formidable force across the green battlefield known as the pitch.
It's not all about kicking leather on a pitch, though, but it's also about tasting the thrill and overcoming the challenge of competitions. As of this season, Kilmarnock have immersed themselves in two. They can boast of achieving a mid-table position, sitting precariously in 5th place in the Premiership, offering a performance that teetered between comfortably satisfactory and punching above their weight. In addition, they battled their way to the rough and tumble of the League Cup quarter-finals, showing tenacity and grit amidst the heat of contest.
