Quinn relishes Killie loan move

Rocco Quinn has said he is looking forward to playing for Kilmarnock after his loan move from Celtic.

"It's a great club, and I know a lot of the lads here as well - so I was over the moon to come here," Quinn said.

Midfielder Quinn, 20, who has not appeared for Celtic this term, said he was eager to make his debut.

Rugby Park manager Jim Jefferies wanted to add to his injury-hit squad after learning that Danny Invincible needs an operation on a groin injury.

Invincible will need close to three months to recover, while David Fernandez was lost to a long-term knee injury in October.

It's a great club, and I'm delighted to have the chance to play for them

Quinn said he hoped to play in Kilmarnock's SPL clash with Dundee United on Saturday.

"I would be looking to be involved at some point," he said.

"I don't know if it will be too soon to start the game - I'll just need to wait and see."

Quinn said he had opportunities to go on loan to other clubs but did not feel they were right for him.

"But when this one came up I jumped at the chance to come here," he said.

"I spoke to Jim Jefferies on Wednesday night, but he didn't really have to sell the club to me.

"I know what the club stands for. It's a great club, and I'm delighted to have the chance to play for them."
