On Stuart Findlay's injury: "It's a real blow for us, he's a big player who plays every week and has got such a huge influence in the team. It's the equivalent of Cameron Carter-Vickers being out of the Celtic team." As they still await the news of how long Findlay will be out for, McInnes says "there's no point in crying about it, we're going to have to cope with that and it's somebody else's opportunity to go and play more regularly." On Celtic's 3-1 win against Leipzig in the Champions League:, he says "it was a top class performance" and "they clearly are improving." McInnes says his Killie team "take confidence from the fact we had some good results against Celtic last season." He knows his side "have to overcome the disappointment" from their 3-2 defeat against Dundee last weekend. McInnes acknowledges that they need to make it "difficult" for the league leaders when they come to Rugby Park but knows it will be a "huge challenge".
