Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes: "We wanted to come here, with the odds stacked against us, and be competitive. We had a dressing room full of belief. "We came here depleted and it didn't help much when we have two injuries in the first half.

The Killie boss took umbrage with referee Nick Walsh over his decision to allow Daizen Maeda ‘s goal in the second-half of the Hoops’ narrow win in the Scottish Cup. McInnes was salty at the strike after his player Bobby Wales had equalised following Callum McGregor ‘s strike which opened the scoring.

The particular incident that aggrieved Del was one just before our winning goal. It was a decision that the referee clearly got spot on as the Killie player clearly fouled Auston

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes has hit out at a decision in the build-up to Celtic's winner yesterday. The Parkhead side progressed to the fifth round of the Scottish Cup courtesy of a 2-1 win, with goals coming from captain Callum McGregor and the returning Daizen Maeda .

The keeper was injured in the first 30 seconds of the match following a collision with Celtic star Nicolas Kuhn

Killie had over 70 per cent possession in the first half and their dominance continued after the break but they could not find a goal.

The match itself was a tighter affair than most had expected, but Rodgers was just happy that his team managed to get over the line

The Bhoys secure their place in the next round of the Scottish Cup at the expense of McInnes and his men, prompting the ex-Rangers player to have a pop at the goal Rodgers’ team scored. Being gracious in defeat isn’t something that comes with anyone usually associated with the Ibrox club (old or new),

KILMARNOCK have rejected a six-figure bid for winger Danny Armstrong. The key player is out of contract in the summer, and heading for the exit at Rugby Park. But the price for a January move

Kilmarnock had 16 shots, 14 corners and a goal ruled out – correctly – but they could not find a way past a resolute Motherwell defence.

Brendan Rodgers: “No, we’re not defending it, we have to win it. And for that, we want to go in and attack the game and play to the level that we know we can. Like you say, we’ve won a trophy. We’ve got two more to aim for, and of course, it’s the next game. Our focus is very much on looking to get it off to a good start in the competition.”
