Matty Kennedy says he put smile on manager Derek McInnes’ face by netting a late double in Kilmarnock’s incredible three-goal comeback at 10-man Dundee.

With the Rugby Park side two down at Dens Park, McInnes’ men scored three times in a remarkable eight-minute finale to snatch their first league win of the season.

After a tough start to the campaign, winger Kennedy says luck is finally starting to turn in the Ayrshire club’s favour.

Speaking to BBC Scotland post-match, he added: “The gaffer has been on me to get in the box and score more goals this season, I’ve probably put a smile on his face this time.

“That’s part of football getting the last-minute goal, you saw the fans enjoying themselves and the boys are ecstatic as well. The changing rooms is bouncing.

“We’ve played well this season, a wee bit of luck hasn’t gone our way but it seems to have gone our way now. We’ve dug deep over the last few weeks, so we deserve that.

“People have heard how close the changing room is, we stick together. We’ve played well this season but results haven’t gone our way. We’ll be picking points up and we’ll push up the table.

“We’re a tight group of boys. To just get over the finish line and get your first your first win going into the international break, it’s a really good feeling.”
