KILMARNOCK are set to sign Aaaron McGowan, who revealed today that he would not be renewing his contract at Hamilton Academical, as a replacement for right back Stephen O'Donnell.
McGowan moved to Hamilton from English League Two club Morecambe two years ago and has established himself as a firm fans' favourite at the Fountain of Youth Stadium since.
But the 23-year-old, who was named Player of the Year and Fans' Player of the Year at the end of the 2018/19 season, took to Twitter earlier to announce is set to move on.
The defender is poised to join Kilmarnock. Scotland player O'Donnell announced back in May that he would be leaving the Ayrshire club.
Elsewhere, Alex Gogic, the Hamilton midfielder, has attracted the interest of Hibernian.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
