'Tears of relief' from fans as 'genius' McCann steers Killie to safety

[BBC]

Kilmarnock fans, we asked for your views after Tuesday night's 3-1 win over Dundee ensured the club will play a fifth straight season in the top flight.

Here are some of your comments:

Craig: It can't be understated the fantastic work Neil McCann and Billy Dodds have done in turning us around and getting the team going from strength to strength. Nervy game but we are safe, all that matters.

James: Pressure off. Well done to McCann and co. Our signings in the last window were the main difference and our top goalie back between the sticks saved the day. Now the work begins some players have to go, but some must stay.

John: I was seriously underwhelmed by the appointment of Neil McCann and Billy Dodds, I'm now so pleased to say how wrong I was. Not only have they saved us from the play-offs but Killie are now playing a cracking brand of football. What could have been had they been appointed prior to the season start? Well done all staff, management and players.

Anna: I really couldn't be happier with the result because my nerves were shredded. An awesome performance from the boys all over the pitch although I did question the 4-3-2-1 formation. To go one up then be pegged back by an own goal was a sickener but then up stepped Joe Hugill with two truly priceless goals to keep us in the Premiership. When that final whistle went I am not ashamed to say there were tears of relief in my eyes.

Scott: Sweet relief and relax. A fantastic result, really didn't want us going to Livingston needing points. Back for more next season and hopefully watch us fly under McCann and Dodds.

Jason: What an ending to our season. I was unsure about McCann's appointment but my word the guy has worked a miracle. I thought we were destined for the play-offs but he has completely turned it around. The signings he made in January have been the work of a genius, all of them to a man have played their part in securing our place in the SPFL next season. I'll take a quiet mid-table finish next season please, Ayrshire remains blue and white.
