Kilmarnock have handed a new contract to young midfielder Gary McDonald.The 22-year-old is rated as one of the best youngsters in Scottish football and Killie have moved quickly to hand him a new 18-month deal.
"Contract negotiations have been going on for a couple of weeks with Gary and he was always committed to extending his deal, but it was just down to the length of the term," said Killie manager Jim Jefferies.
"Hopefully now details have been settled Gary can concentrate fully on playing issues."
