Kilmarnock get vital £1m cash boost

Kilmarnock received a major boost after being gifted £1m by one of its largest shareholders. Businessman Billy Bowie, owner of a haulage and waste disposal firm, had already ploughed £250,000 into the club. It is hoped that the additional investment of £1m will attract others to put money into Rugby Park as chairman Michael Johnston dispelled rumours he was preparing to sell the club.

“How the money is used has still to be itoned out but Billy and I both hope it might encourage other local businessmen to invest in the club.”

It is hoped the investment will go some way to aiding the debt-ridden club, and take the heat off under-fire chairman Johnston as fans discuss boycotting home matches in protest at his stewardship.

Ja, das wurde ja schon länger spekuliert. Zum Einen ist eine Faneignerschaft natürlich immer riskant und bei anderen Vereinen wie Clyde bisher auch nicht wirklich erfolgreich. Andererseits ist die finanzielle Lage bei Killie sowieso etwas heikel und bevor man noch mehr Risiko eingeht und wie Dunfermline oder Hearts enden könnte eine rechtzeitige Übertragung des Vereins im besten Fall Schlimmeres verhindern. Aber es ist und bleibt ein Vabanque- Spiel.

Kilmarnock's Reuben Gabriel has been called up for Nigeria's World Cup play-off with Ethiopia despite never having kicked a ball for the Rugby Park first team. (Daily Mail) !!! :o Oh Mann was läuft denn da wieder ab... :ugly

(Daily Mail) !!! :o Oh Mann was läuft denn da wieder ab... :uglyDas übliche "40 Spieler einladen, 20 Spieler mitnehmen" von Nationalmannschaften ;)

Gerade Keshi lädt zum Training & zur Vorbereitung extrem viele Spieler ein.

Allan Johnston hat nun weniger Punkte mit seiner alten Söldner-Truppe eingefahren als die U-20 der Hearts. Zudem 2 rote Karten, der mehr als fragwürdige Umgang mit den boykottierenden Fans....sieht nicht gut für ihn aus.

Ibrahim ist scheinbar wieder fit, aber jetzt macht Gabriel Probleme:


Kilmarnock say Nigeria's Reuben Gabriel 'must do better'

Out-of-favour Nigeria midfielder Reuben Gabriel has been told he must do better if he is to force himself into Kilmarnock's first-team set-up.

And manager Allan Johnston has reprimanded the 23-year-old for criticising both himself and chairman Michael Johnston on social media.

"It's good that he's disappointed, but it's a bit silly putting it on Twitter. That's not done," said the manager.
