Derek McInnes signs Kilmarnock contract extension

Published 22nd May 2024

Derek McInnes has signed a contract extension with Kilmarnock until the summer of 2027.

The Rugby Park side have had a successful season after clinching European football with a 4th place finish in the Premiership,

McInnes took over the club in January 2022 when they were in the Championship and led them to promotion that season.

They stayed in the division with a 10th place finish last season and kicked on this campaign with several stand out results - beating both Celtic and Rangers.

After agreeing to the new deal, McInnes told the club's official website: “Kilmarnock is a fantastic place to work and I enjoy it every single day, I come bouncing into work with a smile on my face, everyone here is so supportive from the backroom staff up to the board.

“The reward from this season comes with the European games, which is our next proper game and we’ll look forward to that.

“The demand will change next season, so I’ll enjoy it just now because I know I’ll not get to enjoy it for too long".
