Comments from the camp
Speaking earlier in the week, Derek McInnes emphasised the importance of building on last Saturday’s victory: “I thought it was our best defensive performance of the season, and our best 90-minute performance of the season. As a team, we had a lot of good things going right for us at the weekend. You still need the guys at the top end of the team to make a difference.
“We’ve had some strong performance this season and not been as good in the opposition box as we would like, but Saturday was different and long may it continue.”

Remembering Laurel Chadwick
Kilmarnock Football Club sends condolences to the family of former Director Laurel Chadwick, who sadly passed away last week at the age of 94.
Scottish football’s first female club Director, Laurel was not only a transformative figure during the redevelopment years of Rugby Park, but a trailblazer for equality within the nation’s boardrooms.
As part of a fitting tribute within a stadium which Laurel helped to develop, a minute’s applause will be held prior to kick-off.
