What does success look like for Killie this season?
With the Premiership campaign under way, what would a good season look like for Derek McInnes and his men?
It was unusual to go into the first league game of the new season and have it be something of an afterthought, for fans if not the manager and players.
Ordinarily the start of the Premiership season is what the summer has been building toward but with thousands returning from Bruges, another European tie looming on Thursday and the fact it was Celtic away to start things off there was an air of ‘just get through it’ about Sunday’s game in Glasgow.
The eventual 4-0 defeat isn’t going to define Killie’s season, and indeed it’s arguably not worth even looking at the table until everyone has played each other once - though if you lose your first 10 you probably don’t need to wait until number 11 to see which way the wind is blowing.
Nobody, of course, expects Derek McInnes’ side to go on anything like that sort of run, but with the league campaign under way it is perhaps worth asking what success looks like for Kilmarnock this time around.
