The 2022-23 campaign delivered a hard-fought return to the Scottish Premiership for The Killie, as they successfully secured their top-flight status with a 10th-place finish in their first season back after promotion. Leading the charge was the versatile Daniel Armstrong, whose 12 goals across all competitions, including 9 in the league, proved vital, while the team also enjoyed a brilliant run to the League Cup semi-final. It was a crucial year of consolidation under manager Derek McInnes that marked the club’s successful re-establishment in the top tier and remains a defining chapter in their recent history.
