Derek McInnes promised record Kilmarnock transfer budget as Billy Bowie sets sights on Premiership top six

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Kilmarnock supremo Billy Bowie has promised Derek McInnes the biggest transfer kitty in the club’s history this summer after watching the new boss lead his side back to the top flight.

Killie secured the Championship title in dramatic style on Friday night after Blair Alston’s 90th minute winner finally ended the heroic challenge of Arbroath in front of a turbo-charged 11,500 crowd at Rugby Park.

Bowie admits he got carried away in the bedlam that followed the last gasp clincher - a frenzy on a scale he has never witnessed at the ground before.

But the owner was deadly serious as he targeted a top six spot on their Premiership return next season. After watching McInnes turn their faltering fortunes around to ensure their Championship stay lasted only one season, Bowie admits the former Aberdeen boss’ magic touch gives him hope for next season.
