from a couple of seasons ago;
Kilmarnock winger James Dayton is hoping the club can hold on to recent Scotland debutant Liam Kelly at least for the rest of the season.
Kelly, whose contract ends in the summer, has been linked with Celtic, Norwich City and West Ham United.
"You want your friends to do well in football and go to the next level and I would love to see him go to the next level," said Dayton.
"But, for Kilmarnock Football Club, we want him to be here."
"I would like to see Liam stay - he is a vital player to our team," said Dayton of the player whose profile was raised further when he was a substitute in Scotland's win over Luxembourg.
"He deserved international recognition and, since then, people have spoken more about him, which is good.
"He is a hard-working, strong character with good qualities.
"He is breaking from midfield and that is what people want, goal-scoring midfielders."
