Matty Kennedy is determined to help Kilmarnock make a late surge for the top six after returning from an injury lay-off that was a lot longer than expected.
The influential winger has had three brief substitute appearances since returning from three-and-a-half months out with a back problem.
Kennedy has made the most of Killie's two-week break from action before Saturday's visit of Hibs.
"It's been good to get more training sessions and there was a reserve game as well," the 30-year-old said. "So it's been good for my fitness.
"At first when I got injured, I didn't think it would be as long, and another part of the injury affected me which we didn't notice at first. Once I got that sorted I got back on the training pitch.
"It is hard, we all go through it at some point in our career. I thought it would be a lot shorter than it was and you have your family and friends asking when you are going to be fit. It's not ideal when you have no idea.
"It is difficult when you don't know when you are going to be fit. The weeks pass and it's another game missed. It's not ideal to keep your head but we I'm fit now."
Tenth-place Killie are six points off the bottom and six adrift of sixth with just four games left before the split, but Kennedy insists they are only looking up as they attempt to match last season's top-half finish.
"We as a group have always spoken about the teams in front of us, trying to push up the table, we have not looked behind," he said.
"I feel with the squad we have, we shouldn't be where we are, we should be higher up. We will push each game trying to get three points and see where it takes us.
"It's obviously not ideal where we are and it might be we have a few games short, but we need to win now if we are going to have a chance."
