KILMARNOCK manager Steve Clarke insists there is a whiff of 'bulls***' about Greg Stewart’s loan switch to Aberdeen.
Stewart spent the first half of the season on loan at Kilmarnock, scoring eight goals, but was recalled by Birmingham City
Killie were hoping to bring the hitman back to Rugby Park on loan but he has instead moved to Pittodrie.
Clarke was at pains to point out he has no problem with Stewart but believes something smells funny about the deal.
Following the 2-0 Scottish Cup win over Forfar, Clarke said: “I only want to talk about players who are committed to Kilmarnock and want to play for us.
“If I am honest, the whole deal had a slightly strange smell right from the very start, but that happens in football
“So we’ll move on and I’ll work with players who want to be here and, hopefully, they do just as well in the second-half of the season.”
Asked what he meant by a strange smell, Clarke clarified: “Bulls***.
“I am not talking about the player here. It’s not the player. It’s the deal.
"But the deal is private and what happens when you speak with other clubs stays private. You can work it out. Look at the deal.”
