Brad Lyons and Lewis Mayo are "massive losses" for Kilmarnock but their departure will allow Neil manager McCann to put his mark on the squad, says former goalkeeper Cammy Bell. Defender Mayo and captain Lyons have both joined Aberdeen, while fellow midfielder David Watson is leaving to join English Championship newcomers Bolton. "They are going to be massive losses, especially Lyons," said Bell on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.
David Watson will join Bolton Wanderers from Kilmarnock, the Scottish Premiership club have confirmed as they thanked him "for his commitment to the club". The midfielder, 21, is in the final weeks of his contract at Killie and will join Bolton for their first season back in England's Championship. This season, Watson made 42 appearances, scoring three goals, as Kilmarnock finished 10th in the Premiership.
