McCann on Curtis call-up, 'huge' game v Livi & 'legend' Fleeting

"

Kilmarnock head coach Neil McCann has been speaking to the media as his side prepare for Saturday's visit of Livingston . Here are the main points: McCann is "buzzing" for Rangers loanee Findlay Curtis, who received his first Scotland call-up for this month's friendlies, and says it is a "feather in the cap" for Kilmarnock having helped to develop the winger this season. The Rugby Park squad are "delighted" for Curtis as well, and McCann says: "He's integrated so well to the group you'd think we was a Kilmarnock player.

" He adds: "I think what it probably does is give maybe a wee bit of confidence to the group that there's eyes on us. I know it was a televised game the other night there against the league leaders, which gives its own profile, but it shows that there's an opportunity there for you if you come and perform. " While McCann has been impressed with Curtis, he stresses "Findlay is not guaranteed a place, he has to earn it" and adds: "Although he was great against Hearts, there's no guarantees he plays this weekend because we have players really asking questions.

" McCann says the past week has been "great" following their win over leaders Hearts and "the luxury is that after a result like that you can allow the guys to really enjoy it". He believes "the evidence was there that we are a good side" and feels Killie "just need to get the consistency" in their performances. Killie occupy the relegation play-off spot and host bottom club Livingston on Saturday, with McCann describing it as a "huge game" but "not the biggest game of the season".
