Derek McInnes: Kilmarnock manager signs extended contract

Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes has signed a contract extension with the Scottish Premiership club until 2027.

The 52-year-old former Aberdeen and Bristol City boss had been touted by some as the next Hibernian head coach following last week’s sacking of Nick Montgomery.

But the news that McInnes, who was appointed by Kilmarnock in January 2022, had agreed a new deal was greeted on the club’s X account with the words “Derek’s going nowhere”.
