Alexei Eremenko makes Kilmarnock return

Kilmarnock have confirmed that Alexei Eremenko has returned to the club on a deal until the end of the season.

The Finnish midfielder, 30, enjoyed a successful loan spell at Rugby Park during the 2010-11 season while he was playing for Metalist Kharkiv.

He has now signed a temporary contract with the Scottish Premiership side following a brief stint at Kazakhstani outfit Kairat Almaty.

Eremenko scored four goals in 34 appearances during his previous time at Kilmarnock.
