    Michael Johnston may have missed the boat in receiving a financial windfall for his shareholding in Kilmarnock Football club.

    The offer in the region of £1.9 million for his shareholding in the club is no longer on the table.

    BBC Scotland has learned Johnston, the club company secretary, wanted additional clauses inserted in the deal but this was thrown out by the intended purchaser and therefore the offer was withdrawn.

    Shareholders see the existence of Johnston on the board as a hindrance to local businessmen investing in the club.

    Supporters are planning protests against Johnston during today's match with Aberdeen.

  6. 'No appetite for strict liability'published at 14:47 British Summer Time 1 October 2016

    Hamilton Accies chairman Les Gray thinks there is little chance of the Scottish Professional Football League and member clubs accepting "strict liability" for the behaviour of their fans.

    The Scottish government this week warned that it could step in to force football authorities to take action after the failure of disciplinary action over disorder at last season's Scottish Cup final between Hibernian and Rangers.

    But Gray told BBC Scotland: "We have raised the bar in terms of our league rules should fans misbehave, so I'm not sure if government interference is the way forward and I don't think it can be enforced.

    "If a fan was to misbehave here at New Douglas Park, we see that as a criminal act punishable by law and we pay the police to come and police that, so for us it is nice and simple and I think most clubs will think like that.

    "I think the government have been on our case about this - and particular the board of the league and the board of the SFA.

    "There's been some issues abroad in Europe regarding this and strict liability hasn't worked where it has been applied and Uefa are getting into all sorts of bother because of this and our league does not see this as the way forward.

    "I have not spoken to anyone in any clubs who have any appetite for it."

    Ross County v St Johnstone (KO 15:00)

    St Johnstone have lost just once in their last eight games against Ross County and Steven MacLean's return up front certainly can't harm their chances of extending that good run.

    The experienced striker is spared playing on artificial surfaces like the one at Hamilton last week but he's already scored five goals this term.

    Richard Foster has recovered from injury to face the team he played for just a few weeks ago and Zander Clark remains first pick in goal. Alan Mannus is currently reduced to the role as back-up but he's still good enough to be in the Northern Ireland squad for their forthcoming World Cup qualifiers at home to San Marino and away to defending champions Germany.

    Kilmarnock doing what they can to turn the tide on this incredible winning record Aberdeen have against them. The artificial pitch already narrowed and, on this sunny day, it's not been watered either. An attempt to slow the game down? Manager Lee Clark joked there is a water shortage in Kilmarnock...

    Even this early in the season it is hard to imagine anybody stopping Brendan Rodgers' men marching towards a sixth successive title.
