Ex-Celtic star 'is Kilmarnock target' following Parkhead release

Kerr McInroy has emerged as a transfer target for newly-promoted Kilmarnock, following his release from Celtic this summer.

McInroy, 21, enjoyed successful loan spells with Airdrie and Ayr United last season, but made it clear before arriving at New Broomfield that he didn't see his future at Celtic Park.

Championship winners Kilmarnock are believed to be interested in the talented midfielder, who also operated as a full-back at Airdrie.

McInroy was something of a fans' favourite at Airdrie and scored four times for the Diamonds in League One, before moving to Championship strugglers Ayr United, where he netted twice - with one of those in a 3-1 defeat at home to Killie.
