Kilmarnock prepares for season opener against St Johnstone on Sunday

Kilmarnock manager Neil McCann aims for positive progress as the team prepares to face St Johnstone in the Scottish Premiership season opener this Sunday at McDiarmid Park. McCann emphasizes the need to build on the club's late-season momentum from last year, when they managed to avoid relegation after a challenging start. The match marks a return to a grass pitch at Rugby Park, which McCann believes will enhance their home performance. He acknowledges the challenge posed by the newly promoted St Johnstone, expecting a competitive match. The team's goal is a top-six finish, departing from last season's struggles.
