'Killie must show more attacking threat' - McInnes

Derek McInnes says Killie need to show "more attacking threat" as they prepare to welcome FC Copenhagen to Rugby Park on Thursday.

First up though, the Ayrshire club have a trip to Aberdeen to contend with before their huge European tie.

McInnes' side trail the Danish club by two goals after a 2-0 defeat away from home.

"It was brilliant for us to see so many fans travelling, in and around the city, interacting with them," the Killie boss said.

"A club of our size, we are proud of the fact we were taking on a heavyweight in Copenhagen and I thought the result was really harsh on us.

"The recognition that the fans gave the players at the end helps us all to be honest. It does help us, and I thank the fans for that.

"But we go again and hopefully next Thursday we can set about that task.

"We will need so show more attacking threat.

"My intention is to put out a more attacking team to try and get the game going our way a wee bit and try and hit them hard and try and give them the best version of us next Thursday.

"Because we don't want to go out of Europe, we are really enjoying it and the supporters are enjoying it."
