It has come to my attention that Killie forward Steven Naismith maybe offski to spl rivals Rangers, all that is hampering the deal is the transfer fee involved. It is obvious now that Walter smiths comments in regards to being not intrested in Steven Naismith was a lie in a attempt to cool interest from other interested parties.
Rumours are rife that Walter Smith phoned Scotland manager Alex McLiesh to keep Steven Naismith out the scotland squad in attempt to keep his value down, why else would one Scotland's hottest young properties not be included in the games against Austria (friendly) and Faroe Islands (euro qualifier) when several key forwards have had to pull out of Alex Mcliesh's squad through injury, the answers may be found closer at home behind the door of the manager's office at Ibrox park, if it is found out to be true that Alex McLiesh is doing Rangers bidding then he is not fit to be Scotland manager
The ball is in Kilmarnock's court, we do not need to sell Steven as he has still 3 years to serve on his current contract, and the so called £1.5 million release cluase is a red herring with the aim to undermine Kilmarnock fc through the media via Rangers supporting Chick Young, we are in the driving seat and no deal will be done unless it is in the interest of Kilmarnock FC, if anything the interest of Rangers may start a bidding war with clubs from England notably Derby County, Aston Villa and Birmingham city
