McInnes on manager of the season nomination, Europe & VAR

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes has been talking to the media before his side's Scottish Premiership trip to Ibrox on Sunday.

Here are the key points from his press conference:

• Says "it's nice to be in good company" with his PFA Scotland manager of the year nomination, and stressed it is a reflection of the positive work being done by the club as a whole.

• Insists that last season was a tougher test for him as a manager - "you probably feel you do more as a manager in a season like that, you do a lot of your better work when you have to deal with a crisis".

• McInnes pointed to the "brilliant" recruitment done by the club last summer, which he says has been a key factor in their climb up the league.

• Spoke about the lack of celebrations among players and staff when Kilmarnock secured a top-six finish. McInnes stressed that the goal is European football and wants to seal that as soon as possible.

• McInnes wasn't aware of the SFA's VAR review panel saying 26 Premiership decisions have been incorrect since the start of the season. He says there is "still a bit to go" before the in-game process is "slick and as good as possible"
