Samson leaves Killie

Craig Samson has left Kilmarnock after losing his place in the team to Jamie MacDonald.

The goalkeeper has ended his second spell at his first club after summer signing MacDonald started Killie's 4-0 defeat by Dundee in the Ladbrokes Premiership opener.

The 31-year-old former St Mirren player made 78 appearances in two years in his second spell at Rugby Park.

A club statement read: "Kilmarnock FC and Craig Samson have mutually agreed the termination of Craig's contract, which had entered its final season.

"The club would like to record its thanks to Craig for his dedication and professionalism and wishes him every success in the future.''
