Kilmarnock youngster heads out on loan after club signs Queen of the South cooperation agreement
Kilmarnock youngster Cole Burke is heading to League One side Queen of the South on loan after the two clubs agreed a cooperation agreement.
The 16-year-old made two first team appearances at the tail end of last season, having starred for Scotland at youth level and helped guide Killie to the Scottish Youth Cup.
The Doonhamers become the second club with which Killie have entered into a cooperation agreement, having previously sent three players to League Two side Annan Athletic.
The cooperation system has recently been launched as part of a new SFA and SPFL initiative aimed at boosting opportunities for young Scottish players.
It provides greater flexibility to the previous domestic loan agreements, by allowing teams a maximum of three players who are eligible to represent the Scotland national teams, to join a lower-league club but also be able to move between the parent and cooperation club throughout the season to increase playing time.

Celtic fanatics are cracking up in a world of conspiracy and mega rage as Hotline diehard goes nuclear
Graeme Young answers your calls as the big kick-off has punters het up with the Glasgow divide splitting opinion once more If Celtic are basking in the glow of a 14th title in 15 years then nobody told a section of their fanbase. Punters should be jubilant but a burning rage over transfers, or a lack thereof, has seeped into the minds of those who adore the dominant force in Scottish football. And recriminations are festering with Rangers adding Tottenham prodigy Mikey Moore to their ranks amid a feeling Celtic aren't backing Brendan Rodgers as he enters the final 12 months of his Parkhead contract. And one regular is at breaking point and he reckons the club's hierarchy is to blame. Paul McCormack, Coatbridge, said: "What's the story with this Celtic board? A massive step forward on the European stage last season with a platform to build on. "Now, the first XI, weaker than that tired listless losing Cup Final team, is 3 days away from the season opener & we are putting in multiple offers for players whilst acting like a bluffing poker player. The recent past has taught us that clubs can hold us to ransom for players bought at the 11th hour & we end up paying over the odds just to get a player signed.. The biggest example of this failed kind of brinkmanship is John McGinn, a Celtic fanatic lost to us by the low balling board. What is the end game for this board? Does their ambition not go beyond the balance sheet.. It doesn't look like it, as they constantly sit on their hands." Jim McClean, Rothesay, said: "I'm fed up reading about Celtic going for about fourteen signings , no wonder the supporters are cracking up, why the hell can they not just go and sign the four players they need it is getting bloody boring reading who they are going to sign, open the biscuit tin and just do it and give the rest of us peace." A Hotline regular has received a new joke and the champions are the punchline. Alfie Mullin, London, said: "As I was strolling in the park today, the geese reminded me of Celtic 's record in Europe. Aye that's right, the geese. They were honking." "But the roles were reversed in relation to a dig aimed in the direction of Glasgow's east end after Rangers outlasted Panthinaikos after two nerve-shredding legs." James Logan, Glasgow, said: "Alan Flett boasts that Rangers have shown Celtic how to win a two-legged tie in Europe. Can I point out to him that their tie was in a qualifying round and that Celtic have won 30 such two-legged ties over the past 15 years alone.I used the 15 year period to remind Alan that it was that long ago that Rangers last won a game in the Champions League." Kenny Wilson, Moffat, said: "So some Rangers fans think they're going to go all the way in the champions league, maybe on a PlayStation. Battered both legs by a very poor Greek side and the only reason they're still in it is pure luck yet again which they seem to get in spades in Europe ! Part of me would love to see them in the group stage so they can set a new record once again." But not everyone is downbeat over the Russell Martin era and the signing of Djeidi Gassama has proved an instant success thanks to his timely strikes against Panathiniakos. Stephen Johnstone, Ardentinny, said: "The return of the Jedi as Rangers step up the gas and keep their cool in the battle for the qualifying round in their champions league game against Panathinaikos and leave Athens with a draw and a guarantee of European football after Xmas. "If they fail against Viktoria Plzen in there next games but if they keep up there Greece lighting performances and if jedi keeps his foot on the gas. The champions league is a formality." UEFA's decision makers are also getting it on the neck over the format of their flagship competitions. Scott Gowers, Edinburgh, said: "UEFA have really created a very strange scenario. Rangers have a tricky tie to overcome before joining Celtic in a play off where both will be seeded. The strange scenario could be that Scotland's Champions end up in the Europa League and the second placed team in the Champions League whilst other larger nations have four or five teams in the Champions League. "I'm a Rangers fan but the scenario needs to be seriously addressed by UEFA. The Champions League is not the Champions League anymore it's the Champions and also rans league at the expense of the smaller nations which detracts from a champions only Champions League. "For some reason UEFA prefers to treat smaller nations differently for the sake of profit. I think the smaller nations should show UEFA the red card, after all there are more smaller nations." Neil Renton, Leith, said: "Before folk start going daft about the Hibs loss to Midtjylland let's take a moment to reflect. This is a side who this time last year lost to Kelty Hearts and have now gone toe to toe with a Champions League outfit. There's a lot of positives to take from the two legs into the coming season. Bring it on."

Gabby Logan's ‘heart was racing' as she watched daughter make horse racing debut
The Match of the Day presenter and husband, ex-Scottish rugby international Kenny Logan, were at Goodwood where Lois Logan contested the Magnolia Cup Gabby Logan said her 'heart was racing' as she watched her 19-year-old daughter make her racing debut. Showjumper Lois Logan was competing in the Markel Magnolia Cup, the annual charity race staged during the Glorious Goodwood meeting involving 12 leading women from business, sport, fashion and media. The race over five and a half furlongs has raised more than £2.7 million since its launch in 2011 and this year's race supported the King's Trust International's Project Lehar, which operates in India. The race was won by London-based insurance underwriter Sophie Forsyth on the horse Woodcote Girl, trained by Ed de Giles. Lois finished in fifth place on Spirit Of Ecstasy, a horse provided by trainer Andrew Balding, cheered on by her mother and father, the former Scottish Rugby International Kenny Logan. She said: ''It was over so quickly and such a thrill. The horse was incredible and put up such a fight against strong opposition. 'We finished in midfield, which was not a bad result. I had to push from the third furlong because they set off so quickly. I have got more of an edge for winning now and am not so scared of speed. It was really good fun.' BBC Match of the Day presenter Gabby Logan said: ''It's harder to watch than rugby, which is so long – and you have so many more chances to make an impact. It is over so quick and like being a sprinter. 'All those 4.40am starts and the months of physical training have been worth it. Since she broke up from university, she has been going down to Andrew Balding's stable at Kingsclere four times a week. 'I have been down there to see her training. It is such a different style of riding to what she has grown up doing. She has loved it. She will definitely go down again if they need her to ride out.' She added to the Telegraph: 'My heart was racing far more than hers. It peaked at 160 [beats per minute.'
