Kris Boyd retains a fierce appetite for finding the net, according to Kilmarnock assistant boss Peter Leven.
The striker, 32, scored his first goal since returning to Killie in a 2-2 draw with Partick Thistle and Leven was pleased for his former team-mate.
"I am delighted he got that goal and it was a great header," said Leven.
"He is a big asset for us. He has been here twice before and done very well and hopefully he does it the third time too."
Leven returned to Kilmarnock this summer in a coaching capacity, having played for the Ayrshire side between 2004 and 2007, overlapping with the first of Boyd's spells at Rugby Park.
"I've known Boydy for years and he is a goalscorer," he added. "He always has been and he still has the hunger and desire.
"Boydy always want to score goals, even in training."
Killie are searching for a first Premiership victory of the season but Leven has been heartened by recent displays.
"The last two games have been really good," he said of back-to-b
