STUART FINDLAY insists Kilmarnock are full of belief they can be Euro prize guys in Belgium.

The Rugby Park outfit go into tomorrow’s second-leg crunch with Cercle Brugge craving a huge result to reach the Europa League third qualifying round.

Derek McInnes’ men proved their ability at this level with a fighting show in the 1-1 firstleg draw in Ayrshire.

Findlay says Killie will take that momentum into the Jan Breydel Stadium, coupled with a knowledge they have every right to be bang in the battle for the next round having carved out their place on the continent.

He said: “The manager said it before, ‘You are not here because you won a prize... you are here because you did enough last season to have earned it and deserve your place’.

“We don’t want to just turn up – we want to win.

“We go to the second leg full of belief we want to get through into the next round. I don’t know too much about what was being said before the first game but I’m not sure many people fancied us. “
