Kilmarnock managed a whopping 18 shots against Celtic this afternoon.
Killie gave their fans plenty to get them off their seats but not quite enough to have them celebrating as they lost by two goals to nil against the champions.
They edged it in terms of chances but were given a lesson in clinical finishing by Callum McGregor and Nicolas Kuhn.
But there were certainly plenty of positives to take for the Rugby Park men.
McInnes on Kilmarnock display vs Celtic
Killie boss Derek McInnes could have gone into his post-match interview and told how his side were robbed and should have had three points despite the 2-0 reverse.
Nobody would have batted an eyelid if he did.
And the 53-year-old was full of praise and pride for his men and the performance they managed to turn in.
But he was honest enough to admit they should have been better in front of goal.
Asked if his side could or should have got something from the game, McInnes told Sky Sports: “No, because we don’t take our chances that were presented to us. If I look at the stats in terms of as many shots as we did, touches in the opposition box, the game played out how I was hoping.
“It wasn’t just about work rate and winning the ball, it was actually looking after the next pass and getting to Celtic’s back lot as soon as we could and causing them problems.
“The goal is a sucker punch right before half-time.
“But the performance…full of pride in terms of the effort and how he tried to execute what we wanted to do.
“The number of shots we had, the xG, everything was good for us. But we don’t score.
“You have to say Celtic, for as much as they’re good players and normally enjoy control, I don’t think they had that control.”
McInnes on Reo Hatate potential Celtic red card
Reo Hatate could have seen red towards the end of the game with Celtic leading 2-0, which could have given Killie a glimmer of hope.
The Japanese midfielder went in hard and high on Liam Donnelly and caught him just below the knee.
Former Rugby Park striker Kris Boyd thought it warranted a sending off but James McFadden disagreed in the Sky Sports studios.
And McInnes actually wasn’t convinced it was a red.
He said: “At the time I thought it was high but I didn’t think there was a lot of force in it.
“When it goes to VAR, I’m sure the pictures wouldn’t have looked good.
“In terms of actual force, I’m not sure it was exactly a red card, to be honest.
“Honestly we would take that because I think we have been victims of that. But sometimes you don’t get these wee breaks against teams like Celtic.
“I didn’t think there was a lot of force but I did think it was a bad tackle.”
