Interim manager Kris Doolan has been speaking to the media ahead of Kilmarnock's trip to St Mirren on Saturday.

Here are the key lines from his press conference:

  • Says Killie need to work on their "finishing touches," but there are "loads of positives" to take despite their 1-0 defeat to Falkirk last weekend.
  • Doolan adds that the players can "flip their mindset really quickly," and he's working on trying to cut out errors as they look to lift themselves off second bottom of the Premiership.
  • The interim manager says he's trying to "lighten the mood" at Rugby Park but also doesn't want to "distract" the squad from the job that they have to do.
  • Says he's not worried about the incident that occurred between Dominic Thompson and a fan after the Falkirk game.
  • Doolan adds it shows that both sides "really care" and stresses that he's going to work on trying to put "a connection between supporters and the players."
  • "It's a busy time of year," but Doolan is relishing the festive period and adds being involved in football is "the best job in the world."
  • Says "it was amazing" to be back managing at the weekend but is focused on "helping" the team and is hopeful Killie can "do the right things" and force their own luck against St Mirren.
  • The 39-year-old, who took interim charge following Stuart Kettlewell's departure, isn't placing any emphasis on a long-term future and insists he will "just keep working hard" for the club.
  • The former Thistle manager is expecting a "tough game" at Paisley but is hopeful that a "strong" mindset can help them get a result against Stephen Robinson's side.
