The glaring problem Killie need to address

[BBC] Kilmarnock probably created some kind of record in the League Cup group stage by winning it despite scoring only two goals and conceding none. It would seem strange, therefore, Killie fans were stating the biggest worry was our defence - but the performance at Perth on Sunday showed those concerns were well founded. I stated in this column back in January, when Neil McCann took over as manager, the main priority was an experienced no-nonsense centre-half. We never addressed the issue and haven't so far this summer. I hope McCann hasn't got a blind spot when it comes to the heart of our defence. The goals we lost in Perth were all avoidable and there is a lot of work to be done in training this week. We face Celtic on Sunday and they will pounce on any weakness if we repeat the same basic errors. I still feel we will have a good season but only if the manager urgently addresses the glaring problems. Sandy Armour is editor of The Killie Hippo fanzine
