Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes has expressed his disappointment over the criticism he received following his proposal to postpone Sunday's Scottish Premiership match against Aberdeen.
He suggested that rearranging the league clash could potentially benefit his team in their UEFA Conference League play-off against Copenhagen.
Despite the suggestion, Kilmarnock proceeded to play their scheduled Premiership match at Pittodrie, having suffered a 2-0 defeat in the first leg in Denmark just three days earlier.
McInnes clarified that no formal request to delay the game was submitted to the Scottish Professional Football League, nor was there any communication with Aberdeen regarding the matter. But he did explain that in the long-term, its a notion that the governing bodies in this country should look at.

"There was a discussion with the league, not an official approach, and it was pointless really," he told BBC Scotland. "It would have been rejected, so we didn't bother.
"I put it out there and it was interesting to see the amount of self interest that comes on the back of that. You see other European nations doing that, because it can generate so much money."
