BRAD LYONS relied on his Killie teammates to give him a lift when he was down in the dumps.
Now the Rugby Park midfielder is determined to repay his pals by driving the side to Europe.
Lyons spent four months on the sidelines with a knee injury but the Killie squad gave him the perfect pick up by taxiing him to training and days out to help guide him through his comeback.
The Northern Ireland cap is back in business and out to finish the season in style.
Lyons said: "The boys have been brilliant. I could've been stuck in watching Homes Under the Hammer for weeks.
"It was 15 weeks and I had six weeks in a brace with crutches. But they've been brilliant since minute one.'

"I had Innes Cameron driving me about, I think I might owe him a few lifts.
