Kilmarnock 0-1 Ross County: What the manager said

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes told BBC Scotland: "We looked a bit blunt in terms of our attacking threat today.

"At the very least we should be getting a 0-0 and bemoaning the fact that we need to do better in attack. We didn't have any real control of the game at any point, Ross County looked a bit brighter than us early on.

"They were more alive and more alert to certain situations. That said, second half we played more in their half but we were a wee bit unconvincing. We huffed and puffed.

"We missed Vassell leading the line for us. There's reasons for why we weren't at our best but it was certainly a disappointing afternoon for us.

"We knew we had an opportunity to move into the top six with a win. Any opportunities to win a home game, you've got to try and do that but we weren't good enough."
