McCulloch to Killie?

Twitter today caught mild fire
when a tenuous rumour from a Kilmarnock forum
weaved its way into the public domain.

The story was Lee McCulloch
signing a one year pre-contract deal with Kilmarnock
as player coach.

I should point out, I have
absolutely no source for this, beyond said forum’s claim, and the thread has
been locked since, but it is the first story linking McCulloch with a move out
of Ibrox.

McCulloch has of course stated he
fully intends to win a new deal with Rangers, but given his abysmal displays
this season, this is a request unlikely to be honoured.

Question is, if this move to
Killie is a pack of lies, why would a Kilmarnock supporter post it to a Kilmarnock forum?

Manager Gary Locke has indeed
been strongly linked with a player coach from Ibrox, but his name is Kris Boyd,
not Lee McCulloch, and my sources tell me McCulloch has been rather woeful as a
coach, despite managing to complete his badges late last year.

So this story is either a
complete load of nonsense, with silly season coming up, or McCulloch has
managed to get a grip of coaching and Locke now wants him and his experience.

The former is infinitely more
likely.
