A loan that has worked out well for both teams, we were lucky to get him and the two Alfie's from Aberdeen.

Like the USA in 4 years time, we are currently trying to dissociate ourselves, move on and rebuild trust, after the corrupt and untrustworthy mess we were under SG's stewardship - that was our Trump period!

These are the kind of loans - where the players do well for us and go back to their parent club as better players - that work for everyone. Derek McInnes (and others) will no doubt be more willing to send players to us if that's the result he gets. The Alfies and the others also seemed to work out well, apart from the injury to Bavidge. I also liked that Savage mentioned in a recent comment about the club having paid for operations recently for players. Thats quite a turnaround from when we had a surgeon as an interim chairman and had to crowdfund surgery for Aaron Doran which was wrong on so many levels! All these little things do a lot of positive things to turn around the reputation we gained under the previous "guardians" of the club.

....plus Keith Bray from Dunfermline and James Nolan from Man U. Not forgetting Connall Ewing from Ross County.

Derek McInnes said tonight that Brannan has had an excellent loan spell with us and will be promoted to Killie’s first team squad next season.

Ben Brannan was part of the Kilmarnock team tonight that beat Dundee in the Scottish Youth Cup Final. It was Ben's cross onto the head of Keith that started our 3-0 win against Arbroath on Saturday. A tremendous loan signing for us.

It was good to hear Alan Savage talking about Dougie Macgillvray being at the meeting today. It would be fantastic if DM could get back with the club in some capacity . I think it is also way overdue that his massive contribution to the club should be recognised in a formal way.
