Former Rangers kid Robbie Ure hopes to win a move to Kilmarnock after seeing his Dutch dream snared in red tape. But his old Ibrox academy colleague Brian Kinnear won’t be joining Derek McInnes’ side after seeing his own Rugby Park trial come to an end.
Ure has been handed the chance to impress the Ayrshire outfit after returning to Scotland. He spent the early part of the summer hoping to earn a deal with Eredivisie high-flyers AZ Alkmaar after flying out to Holland to train with Pascal Jansen’s side.
The 19-year-old Scotland youth cap spent a fortnight on trial and even featured in a pre-season friendly for their youth team.
However, he saw the move fall through due to Dutch FA rules which bar clubs from signing non-EU youngsters aged 18 and 19 unless they earn more than £3250 per week.
