Cedric Kipre is ready to sign on the dotted line at Motherwell for a third time in nine months. And the defender wants to celebrate by snapping up silverware with the Steelmen. The 21-year-old penned a one-year deal when he arrived from Leicester last July but added an extra 12 months just six weeks later and is now set to land an even longer-term contract.

Rogic has been in talks over a new contract with Celtic, but hasn't signed fresh terms and his deal is set to expire in 2019. Former Socceroos skipper Paul Wade believes it would be wise for the 23-year-old to wait until after the summer showpiece before deciding his future. Wade told WAtoday: "I don't have a problem with any player thinking to themselves 'you know what I'm going to put in and deliver here so that I can get a new deal or go to a new club'. "Scouts will have been looking at him for the last couple of years, people know exactly who he is and what he does, but they want to see him do it on the biggest stage. "I don't know whether I could put a figure on how much his value could rise, but just the fact agents are out there watching … [Read more...] about Tom Rogic urged not to sign new Celtic deal until after World Cup

Rory McKenzie has agreed a new two-year deal at Kilmarnock to commit his future to Rugby Park. That comes despite St Johnstone's interest in him and suggestions he would sign a pre-contract with the Perthshire outfit. And McKenzie admits the positive nature of fans in recent months as well as Steve Clarke's influence helped him decide his future should be at Rugby Park. He said: "It means a lot, it's never nice being out of contract and thinking what is happening next? It's good to have the next two years sorted and be able to plan for the future. "It didn't affect me on the pitch but I have few things going on outside of football and I wanted to get it sorted for those reasons. Deep down I knew what I wanted and I'm glad that it has happened. "I stay in Troon and you go down the town and you tend to meet people. You tend to meet people when things aren't going too well but in the last few months you don't mind stopping chatting to people about football and the turnaround has been … [Read more...] about Rory McKenzie commits to Kilmarnock as he agrees new two-year deal
