McCann excited about Kilmarnock's new pitch

Kilmarnock may be yet to train on their new grass-hybrid pitch, but it's fair to say manager Neil McCann is excited about the "sensational" surface.
"I just feel that Rugby Park was always known as having a brilliant surface," said McCann.

"So, hopefully we get a big crowd coming in on the back of the home form last season. I know they'll be disappointed by the last weekend but we look to try and put that right."
Killie opened their Scottish Premiership season with a 4-3 defeat by St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park and welcome champions Celtic on Sunday.
And McCann says the new pitch will not change their game tactically at all, although he admits his side will have an advantage over the visiting teams as "it allows you to train on it".
"You've got a certain knowledge of maybe the hard surface and how it may bounce," he explained.
"The pitch won't change how we play. Hopefully, that will help us even more because we are a team that wants to play. We take a lot of risk in our play."
