Tommy Wright has laughed off any talk of a title clash after just three matches.
Kilmarnock square-off against Inverness Caledonian Thistle in the cinch Championship with both sides boasting a 100 per cent record, and zero goals conceded, between them.
Something will have to give when the face each other at Rugby Park – but Wright says all that's at stake is three points.
The Rugby Park gaffer chuckled: “If anyone is saying that they need their head looked at. It’s three games in!
“Seriously though, both teams have started well, but it’s another three points, whoever comes out on top all it means is that they’re three points ahead of the other.
“It’s a long way to go. If we win we won’t be getting too excited in that sense.
“It’ll be four games played after tomorrow, nothing is decided considering you play each other four times."
Wright added: “We’ve had no problems scoring all season, including the Premier Sports Cup and pre-season.
“The only game we haven’t scored was against Hibs when we should have had a couple of goals.
“You could say the fact that teams have kept clean sheets suggests it’ll be tight, it’ll be tight no matter who comes out on top.
“Whether it’ll be high scoring, who knows?"
Killie will have almost a full capacity Rugby Park available for the first time since Wright joined the club – and the Northern Irishman is delighted fans will be back cheering on the team.
He said: “We are hoping for a good support. We’ve had a good response to season ticket sales and there was an unbelievable away support at Hamilton last week, nearly 1,400.
“The fans have got really behind the team and I think the connection with the supporters and the players is playing a big part in success at the moment.
“I am pleased with that and against Inverness I’d love to see as many Kilmarnock supporters behind the team as possible.
“The Ayr United game probably gave me a taste of it, even though we could have got more in and there was no Ayr fans.
“But the atmosphere that night shows me what’s to come."
Chris Stokes and Rumarn Burrell are the only injury absentees as Wright gets set for a busy few days before transfer deadline day on Tuesday.
He said: “We have got a couple to tidy up, a couple well down the road.
“They will hopefully be tidied up before the 31st. I’ll be glad when the window is shut, I think every manager is the same.
“It’s a busy time, but to be fair to us we’ve done a lot of business early on this year.
“I am not expecting anyone in before the Inverness game."
