‘A big moment’ to get out of playoff place | Neil McCann | Kilmarnock 3-0 Dundee United - Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann reflects on a 3-0 home win over Dundee United at Rugby Park that lifts Killie out of the Scottish Premiership relegation playoff zone, with three games to go to secure survival.
McCann on the bottom-two release after months stuck in 11th, the message to his players about pressure ("apprehension is mostly when you're not feeling prepared"), and the brave-with-the-ball mandate that paid off against a Dundee United side that had comfortably beaten Dundee a week earlier.
