'Angry & apologetic' - can McCann halt Kilmarnock's losing start?
What is going wrong at Kilmarnock amid losing start to Scottish Premiership season?
Three games, zero points and 13 goals conceded have left Kilmarnock's new-season optimism quickly fading. Fans booed the team off at halftime and fulltime of their 4-0 defeat to Dundee United. Manager Neil McCann attempted to keep his anger in check after the match but admitted to the fans that they deserved their frustration. McCann was clear that the home support's fury was justified, stating that he is both angry and apologetic.
He expects a reaction from the fans when Kilmarnock faces St Mirren on Wednesday. The team's stats paint a bleak picture, with McCann's side making the joint-worst start in Scottish top-flight history after three matches. They have conceded the most goals in the division, allowing 13. The pressure on McCann is mounting as his team struggles to find form.
