Kilmarnock 3-1 Livingston: What McInnes said

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes: "I thought we started strong in the game. We expected a tough match and knew we would have to do a lot of different aspects well, and I thought we did that.

"We showed good composure, carried a threat and deservedly went in front.

"I love my centre-forwards scoring goals - [Kyle Vassell] has got two today and the front two were a handful the whole game. They gave us a real platform to play.

"What pleased me most was the response to the Livingston penalty - it was immediate and we set out to win the game. We're fifth in the league and we want to hang about the top six for as long as we can.

"It's important not to get too carried away, but it's important that we win games like this. After a strong start, we stuttered a wee bit, but hopefully today is the start of a few more [wins]."
