Jan 8th 2003...Striker
Gary McCutcheon today left Kilmarnock Football Club. McCutcheon, who's
has impressed in various loan spells, failed to capture a regular place
in the Killie first team and it has been mutually agreed to terminate
his contract.
Notes: With a total of six starts and sixteen appearances as
a substitute (scoring
two goals in the process) since he signed in 1995, it doesn't seem as if
Gary is going to get the chance of a sustained run in the first team at
Rugby Park. He's been off on loan on numerous occasions and has always
done a job wherever he's been but still hasn't forced his way into the
manager's plans (Bobby's or latterly Jim's) on a more permanent basis.
It seems like Gary has been here for years and I find it hard to believe
that he's only 25, however, he's worked under several managers at the
club and not one of them has seen any reason to dispense of his services
so he must have something to offer. He is a grafter and has turned in
some fine performances in the few appearances he has made but his lack
of height has probably held him back. He's good on the ball but seems to
fit in better behind the front two than as an out-and-out striker. Went
on loan to Dumbarton (until January) where he was banging them in!
