Time may already be against "obsessive" Neil McCann, but the new Kilmarnock manager is not using that as an excuse.
Despite only being named as Stuart Kettlewell's successor on Tuesday, McCann has assured supporters will "see that work is already starting to take place" by his first game on Saturday against Livingston.

The 51-year-old, who was most recently assistant at Rangers to Barry Ferguson, is confident he and fellow ex-Ibrox coach Billy Dodds can turn the fortunes of the flailing Ayrshire club around.
Victory in the basement battle at bottom side Livi this weekend would be the perfect start for McCann and co.
"It's huge," McCann told club media of the trip to West Lothian.
"We don't have a lot of time but that time will be valuable and it'll be used well.
"The information I'll try and gather over the next couple of days is going to be so important, not only for my players but the staff as a whole to help.

"And then the supporters are going to be vital. I'm not talking about for me in terms of getting behind me, it's about getting behind the team.
"I'm hoping the support will see that - although there's not a lot of time right now to Saturday's game - the work is already starting to take place.
"I'm a bit obsessive by nature anyway, so it wasn't a problem to get my head into work.
"It started very early when I took the call to say I'd been chosen for the job, but that hard work going to continue."
