Al could be-Combe a coach

BOSS Jim Jefferies has tipped Kilmarnock No.1 Alan Combe to become a top goalkeeper coach - because he moans so much.

The on-form shotstopper is firmly installed as Killie's first choice and Jefferies says Combe could coach a new crop of keepers when he hangs up his gloves.

He said: "Alan is a very good talker and he gives the defence confidence.

"He lets them away with nothing and keeps them on their toes with a few moans. He'll be a very good coach."

Jefferies insisted: "As for the international thing, he has been unlucky with the terrific form of Craig Gordon and Allan McGregor."
