Jordan Jones scored an impressive winner against Rangers in midweek – the team he will join in the summer.

Jones’ winner for Kilmarnock was perfectly timed from a personal perspective, helping get fans off his back who were questioning his attitude after he announced he would be leaving for Rangers.

The winger is adamant his attitude should not be in question. But when it comes to his ability, the Ibrox bound star admits he knows he has to improve.

Jones thanks Killie boss Steve Clarke for helping him, and credits their recent work together for contributing towards his midweek winner over Rangers.

Jones told the Herald: “We have both worked together on how my end product can improve.

I need to try and bring a lot more goals and assists to my game. I’m not stupid. I know I need to improve. Everyone can see that it isn’t dribbling and going past players that is the problem it is the thing at the end of it.

“Everyone in the team is becoming better week in week out because of how good a coach he [Clarke] is.”

Kilmarnock manager Steve Clarke is seen during the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership match between Rangers and Kilmarnock at Ibrox Stadium on March 17, 2018 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Jones sounds genuinely happy at Kilmarnock, which is why many fans were so put out that he chose to sign with Rangers.

For now he is setting that aside and pushing to try and help Killie win the title.

At present they are second behind Celtic, with Rangers now back in fourth.
