The Ladbrokes Championship kicked off with Friday Night Football at Tynecastle live on the BBC Scotlnd channel and Kinglsey got his Jambos career off to a flying start with two fantastic goals in a 5-2 victory.

Speaking to BBC Scotland after the match Kingsley said: "I've really tried to dedicate myself over the lockdown period while I've been out of contract to working really hard in my individual sessions and then going in to Falkirk and training with them.

"I want to say a massive thank you to Lee Miller and David McCracken for that, they really kept me as fit as I could be and gave me some game time which was brilliant because it meant I could come in to HEarts and try to hit the ground and thankfully I've been able to do that tonight."
