Youssouf Mulumbu was a favourite with Kilmarnock fans
Former DR Congo captain Youssouf Mulumbu has joined Kilmarnock for a third spell.
The 33-year-old midfielder has been without a club since being released by Celtic in May 2019.
He has been training with Kilmarnock and has signed an initial six-month deal.
It comes as Mohamed El Makrini is on the verge of joining Norwegian side IK Start.
Mulumbu ended season 2018-19 on loan to Kilmarnock, playing 12 times.
He had moved to Celtic after impressing for the Rugby Park outfit during previous season but only made three appearances for the Scottish champions.
Mulumbu is now available to face Dundee United on Saturday.
"He's not played for a while but a player of that ability never loses it," Kilmarnock manager Alex Dyer said of Mulumbu earlier this week.
"He's the type of character we could use around here. He's a great person and since he walked back in for training this week it's been like he's never been away."
