The Rugby Park side head to Belgium on Thursday night looking to secure a place in the third round of qualifying for the Europa League.
The influential striker missed last week’s first-leg crunch due to a groin issue. But Watkins, who was the club’s top scorer last term, is available for the return showdown against Cercle Brugge as Killie go for a famous triumph. Kyle Vassell led the line as a sole striker in the 1-1 draw at Rugby Park and McInnes now has the option of going two-up as he plots a famous triumph.
“Equally, you don’t want to lose it. Here we are now, it’s now become a 90-minute game, one-off cup game. We’re prepared to go the full way if need be, whether it’s extra time or penalties. We trust our fitness, we trust what we do and we look forward to it, regardless of what team is picked. “I remind the players of the fact that only Rangers and Celtic have beaten us since the 2nd of December. Almost five and a half months of football, the best teams in our country are the only teams that have beaten us.
