Chris on Wanting Darg's To Stay !!

Chris Innes talks about (Dec 9th) his best Killie buddie Craig Dargo whose contact is up at the end of the season......

"Craig is my best mate and we share a car to training with a few of the lads. There is a great camaraderie between us all.

"He likes listening to The Golden Hour on the radio every morning and we have a competition to guess the year. He's the worst singer in the world.

"But he is an exceptional player. Every fan would tell you the same and, although I can't comment on the board's stance he is a great lad to have about the place.

"He gets into great positions and has done really well to come back from injury. When it first happened we didn't realise how bad the injury was.

"But he has worked hard to get fit. I know he will start banging the goals in again soon.

"Every club wants to keep its good players and I would love to have him in the team every week. Defenders must hate playing against him because I know from training just how good his movement is."

"Having said that, his miss was incredible. I was sure he would just knock it in and I better not repeat what I said to him when he didn't score."

Jim Jefferies on the Craig Dargo Contract Situation (Dec 6th)..."I have spoken to Dargs and he said he wasn't aware his agent was talking to Preston. Now we will get the game (Dundee Dec 7th) out of the way, have a chat early next week and then it is up to him to come back to us before the end of the week.An offer has been on the table for some while now. He decided to leave it there until he was back playing and he is now. We are not looking to receive any offers. We would rather have the player and that's why why we have made him a very good offer. It was made before the TV deal collapsed so he is very fortunate that Kilmarnock have honoured their part of that given that the circumstances have changed."
