Kilmarnock have confirmed the departure of four key stars following their relegation to the Championship.

Kyle Lafferty, Kirk Broadfoot, Greg Kiltie and Mitch Pinnock all leave Rugby Park this season.

The club confirmed the news on their website, revealing that while recruitment continues in the background they will also be bidding farewell to big players.

Lafferty, despite the relegation battle, managed 13 goals for the Ayrshire men and fellow former Rangers man Broadfoot was a stalwart for the club making more than 120 appearances over more than three years.

Kiltie, meanwhile, was an academy graduate and Pinnock netted five goals after joining from Wimbledon last season.
