The matchwinner was delighted VAR didn't leave him with egg on his face as he back Killie to dump Hearts and reach Viaplay semis.
Marley Watkins worried he’d be made to look like an idiot by VAR as he wheeled away to celebrate sinking Celtic.
“I was worried I was offside,” grinned the 32-year-old. “I thought I had gone too early. But I came back on and I was buzzing that it counted. “Football is fine margins so we have just got to keep doing what we’ve been doing and being hard to beat. But we have got quality as well so hopefully it comes out every game.
And Watkins paid tribute to his boss for masterminding Killie’s stunning start to the season. The former Aberdeen striker - who also worked with McInnes at Pittodrie - said: “It was a great win and we’re buzzing. It’s been a great start to the season. Hopefully we can kick on again. “We were brave out there and that came from the gaffer and the staff. We just followed their instructions. You have got to trust in the game plan. We saw it through and it paid off.”
“But we saw it through thankfully and the defence was brilliant. That’s us got three clean sheets in a row. That comes from the whole team defending together and pressing from the front.McInnes also had words of praise for young midfielder David Watson after watching him help put the shackles on a Celtic side that put 13 goals past his side last term.“We asked him to play up against the wee boy Odin Holm. We spoke to Davey about trying to nullify that, and work off him.
