according to the tele gary harkins may be a on the move to killie,with aberdeen/inverness and st johnstone also sitting in the wings.the ayrshire club are about to unveil kenny sheils as their new manager,and it is understood that harkins is in his sights.
gary still has a year of his contract left at dundee,but the prospect of a transfer fee and slashing the wage bill must be appealing to those in power at dens.
harkins was among the signings that heralded calum melville appearing at dens park,and he was duly signed for £150,000 from thistle,under the terms of his contract his old club are entitled to receive a percentage of any transfer fee paid to dundee,i for one certainly hope that gary stays put as he is one player who can turn a game in a flash of genious,andif he does move on he will be sorely missed,that is for sure.
meanwhile thistle have also entered into the race for ex dee favourite neil mcann who dundee are also beleived to be interested in signing,however mcanns work as a tele pundid mainly on the west coast might be a swaying factor for the player as he wont have to travel as much.time will tell i suppose.
barry smith has always stated that the door was open for mcann after his heroic 3 games last season,
