Russell Joins From Airdrie Utd
The Killie first team squad reported
back for training on July 3, flying out to their Italian training
camp at Il Ciocco for a week-long stay. Killie go into their
training camp, without Gary Wales & Paul Di
Giacomo,(Airdrie Utd), who were not offered new terms for
the 08-09 upcoming season.
Killie target
Abdul Osman (ex-Gretna) signs for Northampton, after
failing an initial medical with Ayrshire's Finest. Some
positive news was that the club confirmed that Moroccan midfield
maestro Mehdi Taouil has signed a
new contract which will keep him at Rugby Park until 2011. Also
in June Simon Ford makes his International debut for
Jamaica in the Reggae Boyz 5-1 win over
St. Vincent and the
Grenadines.
Killie
make inquiries into Linfield's forward Peter Thompson
but nothing comes it (so far!)Craig Rocastle (ex-Port Vale) has a
try-out, but manager Jefferies decides to keep his coffers for a
striker, as he feels Killie have good coverage in the middle of the
park.
Killie's first piece of real bad news for the season, was that newly
signed striker, Allan Russell had to return early from
Italy, for treatment on a twisted knee, and would now be out
for about an 8 week period.
Killie then play 3 away pre-season matches: Airdrie Utd (3-0,
Danny (2) & Bekenfowler), Alloa Ath (1-1,
Anson) & Stenhousemuir.
