McCann Sets Out Kilmarnock Rescue Plan Ahead of Livingston Debut

He accepted the role without January signing guarantees, trusting a quick spark can turn results.

Overview

  • Neil McCann has signed through 2027/28 with Billy Dodds as his assistant after the board declared "complete faith" in the new management team.
  • Kilmarnock are 11th and winless in 14 league games, with bottom club Livingston four points behind.
  • McCann’s first game is at Livingston on Saturday, a direct test against their nearest relegation rival.
  • He says any January additions are uncertain and will focus initially on improving the current squad despite injuries to key players.
  • The 51-year-old stresses restoring belief, adding structure and addressing both goal output and defensive solidity to arrest the slide.
