Allan Johnston praises Kris Boyd brace

Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston has praised Kris Boyd after the striker fired two goals to earn his side a point against Ross County in the Scottish Premiership.

Yoann Arquin and Yann Sango'o gave the visitors a two-goal lead after just 36 minutes at Rugby Park, but a brace from Boyd pulled Killie level.

"Overall it was a great point for us after being two goals down," Johnston told Sky Sports News.

"The boys showed tremendous character or desire especially, after the game against Celtic in midweek. We dominated the second half and really deserved at least a draw.

"It was two great goals from Kris Boyd and he was the quickest to react and put his face in where it hurts for the second. He is a top-quality striker and his goals show how much he means to us."

Kilmarnock are back in action next weekend when they face Dundee United.
