Kilmarnock assistant manager Paul Sheerin has admitted there is a “decision to make” with Robby McCrorie back to full fitness and keen to reclaim his goalkeeping spot.
The 26-year-old was forced to withdraw from Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad for the Nations League double-header against Poland and Portugal due to a hip problem, having been restricted to Kilmarnock’s bench in the weeks before the international break.
McCrorie, who signed a permanent deal from Rangers in the summer, has now returned to full fitness but Killie boss Derek McInnes has been left with a big decision to make, with Kieron O’Hara impressing in his absence.

Speaking ahead of Kilmarnock's clash with St Mirren on Saturday, assistant manager Paul Sheerin said: "Robby is there, I think he should be OK. I know he’s been making the bench but in terms of fitness he’s certainly a lot better now. Kieran’s been great since he went in. I don’t think there’s been any issues with that.
“Robby’s fine so he’ll be part of the squad, as he has been, albeit a wee bit more fitter probably than he was pre-break. Similar to every position, there are decisions to be made with that.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
