Kilmarnock boss wants ‘more’ after ‘brave’ Celtic defeat as key run approaches

Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann praised his team's brave performance despite a 1-0 defeat against Celtic at Parkhead on Sunday. Liam Scales scored the decisive first-half goal for Celtic, who also saw a Kasper Hogh strike disallowed and a late penalty missed by Benjamin Nygren. McCann told the BBC that his players were disappointed to leave empty-handed after creating several quality chances.

The defeat leaves Kilmarnock bottom of the Scottish Premiership table, two points behind Aberdeen. McCann emphasized that his side needs to deliver more in both boxes as they prepare for a crucial upcoming run of fixtures against four teams directly above them in the standings, beginning with a clash against Aberdeen.
