Kilmarnock ‘need support more than ever’ but patience wearing thin

Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann has called for continued fan backing after supporters booed his side following a 2-2 draw with 10-man St Johnstone at Rugby Park. Despite the result lifting the Ayrshire club off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership, sections of the home crowd voiced frustration after Kilmarnock surrendered a 2-1 lead against an opponent that was reduced to 10 men for 80 minutes.

Kheredine Idessane highlights that patience is wearing thin among supporters, as McCann's side have managed only two league victories all season. Despite Kilmarnock recording season-high tallies of 22 shots and 542 passes, McCann admitted the team rushed and lacked composure amid visible tension inside the stadium. Kilmarnock next travel to face league leaders Celtic ahead of the upcoming international break.
