He's just got Killie through a tough tie against a Scandinavian side who traditionally are very tough for Scottish teams due to them being mid season. By all accounts they then played well away in Copenhagen who finished above Man Utd in the UCL last season.

The reactions of some football fans are just baffling.

Derek McInnes is probably near the bottom of the list of managers in the SPL likely to lose their job this season.

Even if they got relegated I think they’d stick by him if he wanted to stay, they’ll see it as he’s earned that trust given he’s got them promoted, kept them up and then got them into europe

You think so if he loses to Copenhagen which they will then lose to hibs and bottom of the league the peg will be a tad shogglie

Terrible VAR intervention to rule out Bournemouths last minute winner

How they can call that a factual decision and not send the ref over is baffling

Scrap the places and give them to who? Or are you suggesting we just don't take them up?

Uefa should scrap them. There are way, way too many meaningless European ties played these days, not just involving Scottish teams.

He'll be there pretty much as long as he wants. Killie won't be near danger this season.

My word does Shankland look out of shape.

Would be amazed if anyone spends any kind of money for him now.

Brilliant manager in this league, it's just a fact.

Have the Motherwell Ultras moved or had a fall out with the club? No sign of them in their normal place at the game this afternoon

Killie really struggling with the European and league games it seems. Happens to every Scottish team. We toiled with it last season.

St Mirren played a midweek game then thumped us 3-0.

Some clubs seem to cope better than others.

St Mirren lost 4 drawn 1 since. They're not coping.

Ask anyone who was in Luzern last year if they thought it was meaningless. Or that got to experience watching Hibs at a place like Villa Park (despite the result). And then there’s the money the club will have made and that’s without getting to the group stages. Between that and the experiences for supporters, it’s far from meaningless.

I don't disagree with any of that. It's a grand day out for the fans, similar to Scotland at the Euros. But in terms of the European competitions themselves I simply think there are far too many qualifying rounds played at absurdly early stages of the season. I include the so-called Champions League in that, an event I think should comprise solely of actual champions (as it did when known as the European Cup). Making it harder to get a European place would incentivise clubs to work harder at getting better and would hopefully raise the standard of our game.

While I've never been convinced that playing two games a week should be an insurmountable burden for footballers, the fact the European qualifiers come so early may, I concede, mske the switch in styles tricky to manage.

Personally I'd scrap the Euro spot for fifth place, possibly even fourth. I think the biggest challenge our teams face is not the number of games but that they're just not good enough. If we're being honest nobody thinks that 5th-placed season under LJ merited a European spot.

We’ll never be good enough if we don’t experience football at a higher level than we’re used to.

Wonder how he (or Vente for that matter) would have fared at Hibs in a more stable, functioning environment (both on and off the field) eg the Stubbs/Dempster era.

Access to that higher level shouldn't come easy though. Scraping fifth shouldn't be too big an ask for a club of Hibs' size in Scotland, yet even that looks have slipped beyond us. If you scrapped Euro qualification for fifth place and reinstated qualification for the winners of the League Cup that would help focus minds on success.
