New deals for Killie trio – and Chris Burke may join them
Rory McKenzie, Greg Kiltie and Ross Millen have agreed new Kilmarnock contracts while Chris Burke remains in talks over a new deal.
However, goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald and 18-year-old midfielder Ally Taylor have rejected contract offers.
MacDonald, 34, spent most of last season on loan at Alloa while Taylor made his first-team debut against Celtic in February, coming up against brother and former Rugby Park left-back Greg Taylor.

Kiltie added: “I’m really pleased to sign a new contract and hopefully I can make a real mark in the team in the season ahead.
