Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann stressed that securing the three points was paramount in their Premier Sports Cup group stage encounter against Elgin City, even though the winning goal arrived in stoppage time. The Scottish Premiership side endured over 50 minutes a man down following Jamie Brandon's red card.

McCann acknowledged that while the performance against the fourth-tier hosts wasn't flawless, the crucial victory was the main objective. The team had to navigate a significant portion of the match with one player less after right-back Jamie Brandon was dismissed.

Speaking to Kilmarnock TV, McCann expressed his satisfaction with the outcome, stating, "I am really happy with the three points." The late winner against Elgin City secured the vital points in the Premier Sports Cup group stage.

💬 Fulltime Take

While a win is a win, Kilmarnock's inability to dispatch a ten-man Elgin City more decisively raises questions about their ability to dominate lesser opposition.
