Kilmarnock manager Derek McInnes has confirmed he is handing out fines to his players for needless fouls in training in a bid to improve the club's disciplinary record.
The red card shown to midfielder Liam Donnelly for two bookable offences - the first of which came for kicking the ball away - in Saturday's 2-1 defeat away to Ross County was the Rugby Park side's fifth dismissal of the season so far, the most in the top-flight.
Skipper Kyle Vassell had previously revealed that Killie players are financially punished for silly fouls in training, and ahead of Wednesday night's trip to Tynecastle to face Hearts, gaffer McInnes has expanded on the new approach.
He said: "We’ve done it for a while now, for things like pulling. Sometimes in training games that players will make a foul and I want us to get away from that so we fine players for that type of thing, pulling players back and stopping promising attacks. “Also questioning and complaining dubious refereeing decisions, which is a million because I’m the referee most of the time.
