Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston is not worried about the possibility of being the next Scottish manager to be sacked. Saturday's 1-0 defeat to St Johnstone meant Killie are now in the bottom half of the Scottish Premiership in seventh place with 21 points from 16 games and have gone seven games without a win. Johnston has already seen his former Hearts mentor Jim Jefferies walk away from Dunfermline this week, while Livingston's John McGlynn and Ayr's Mark Roberts were both sacked. The Killie manager survived a nightmare run last season which saw his side go 10 games before picking up their first win so this situation is nothing new.
Johnston said: "There's no point worrying about it - if it's going to happen it will happen. It's all about making sure you are giving your team the best chance of winning. If you look at every manager, whether it is here or elsewhere, you are always under pressure. Results dictate if you are going to stay. The chairman has been different class but I'm realistic enough to know that we have to be winning games. The guys in the boardroom want to be challenging for the top six and so do I. I'm still ambitious."
