We have now finalised arrangements for two more Reserve team loans.

As was rumoured in some quarters last week, Arran McKie will be returning to Newton Stewart on loan for the first half of the season. Arran had a loan spell with his home town club at the back end of last season cut short due to Covid but now returns for a hopefully longer stint.

Meanwhile young Kai Bell is also joining up with his home town side on a half season loan as he has joined Kello Rovers to January.
