Kilmarnock must be really in the grubber, dangerous League position and letting one of their better defenders leave.
The player from Cambuslang supports Celtic but his father is a bluenose.
KILMARNOCK star Stuart Findlay has completed a dream move to MLS outfit Philadelphia Union.
The Killie stopper has penned a deal to jet over to the States after the clubs agreed an undisclosed fee.
Last week SunSport exclusively told how the 25-year-old central defender was being lined up for a move to America this month in a six-figure deal.
Findlay’s contract at Rugby Park was due to expire at the end of the season — so Killie have opted to cash in on him now and let him leave for a fee.
Hearts had been tracking the former Celtic youth player for a long time.
And the Jambos were expected to make their move to secure Findlay on a pre-contract to head for Tynecastle this summer.
But ambitious Philly — who are the MLS Cup holders — made their intentions clear and have won the race for his signature.
Stuart Findlay said: “It’s a life changing move for me, my fiancée and my family with a new way of life and at this stage of my career this was an opportunity that I couldn’t turn down.
“I wanted to end my time with Kilmarnock in the best way possible and I’m pleased the club will benefit financially from me moving on before my contract expires. It’s a move that is right for all parties and I’m glad that the fans have been understanding about everything.
“To be able to share some of the moments and goals that I’ve scored with the fans – it’s impossible not to hold the club dear to your heart. I’ll miss the football, the supporters and the people around the club who I’ve shared these great years with.”
Head of Football Operations, James Fowler said: “We didn’t want to lose Stuart but with his contract expiring in a few months, it is a good deal for the club and presents Stuart with a new and exciting challenge in his career.
