Kilmarnock boss Neil McCann has been speaking to the media as his side prepare to host Aberdeen on Saturday.

Here are the main points:

• McCann stresses “we’re working hard behind the scenes” to get bodies in before Monday night’s transfer deadline.
• And while the Killie boss has “nothing to tell you right now”, he is “pretty positive we’ll have one or two in” before the window shuts.
• McCann admits “it’s not that I need them, I would like them” when it comes to new arrivals, adding: “I think the dressing room would benefit from a wee boost.”
• But he knows “I need to show we’re capable of getting results with the players we’ve got”.
• McCann says “the squad is looking good” for Saturday’s game and he was “pleased to have had more time on the training pitch to try and eradicate the disappointment” of last weekend’s 4-0 loss at Motherwell.
• While the Killie boss is keen to “park” that result, he thought his side were “very good” in the first half until Tom Lowery’s sending off for a second yellow.
• McCann is expecting a “confident” Aberdeen after their 6-2 victory over Livingston, adding “they’ll be in a good mood”.
• He says it will take “a lot of hard work and maybe a wee bit of luck” to get a result on Saturday but stresses “we’ve got to try and use” their home advantage.
• Max Stryjek and Jamie Brandon have started training but are not ready for the weekend.
