Kilmarnock win takes huge pressure off McCann - Bell
Kilmarnock's first league win of the season away to Hibs on Tuesday "relieves a huge amount of pressure" on manager Neil McCann, according to the club's former goalkeeper Cammy Bell. "It was a huge result," Bell told the BBC Scottish Football Podcast. It's been 12 years since they've won at Easter Road and it was a brilliant victory - and one Neil McCann really, really needed.
Kilmarnock secured their first league win of the season away to Hibs on Tuesday, providing a significant boost to manager Neil McCann and the team, according to former goalkeeper Cammy Bell. Despite the 1-0 victory in Edinburgh, Kilmarnock still sit at the bottom of the Premiership following a poor start to the season and a disappointing League Cup exit to Aberdeen.
Bell told the BBC Scottish Football Podcast that the win was exactly what McCann wanted and represented a clean sheet, a rare occurrence this season. Kilmarnock were hoping to bounce back from their League Cup loss, which was their first in 12 years at Easter Road. Bell praised McCann's belief in his team, noting they had not been getting the deserved results for their efforts.
The victory came after a series of challenging matches against Hibs and Hearts, with both teams in desperate need of a win. Kilmarnock will now look to complete a double against Hearts on Saturday, aiming to climb the table before a long international break.
