Overview

[edit]

Seven players were released by Kilmarnock following the end of their contracts during the summer including Blair Alston, Lee Hodson, Dylan McGowan, Alan Power, Scott Robinson, Chris Stokes and Calum Waters. Three players – Innes Cameron, Brad Lyons and Fraser Murray – signed new contracts while Ryan Alebiosu, Luke Chambers, Ben Chrisene, Christian Doidge, Jeriel Dorsett, Zach Hemming, Jordan Jones and Lewis Mayo returned to their parent clubs following the completion of their loan deals.[1][2]

Kilmarnock arranged a pre-season training camp in Belfast, Northern Ireland which included friendlies against Glentoran and Linfield.[3]

The draw for the League Cup was made on 8 June 2023 and Kilmarnock were drawn in Group F with Raith Rovers, Dunfermline Athletic, Annan Athletic and Albion Rovers.[4] They began the campaign on 15 July at home to Annan Athletic and concluded their group stage fixtures on 29 July away to Albion Rovers.[5]
