Kilmarnock fans are reacting to reports linking Stuart Findlay with a move to Sheffield Wednesday.

The Scottish Sun claims Sheffield Wednesday are preparing a bid for the centre-back, who was watched by the Owls boss, Steve Bruce on Sunday.

The Daily Mail were the first to report Bruce’s interest two months ago, and claimed the 58-year-old was willing to pay £1 million for Findlay, who has two seasons left on his contract.

But given what some of a Killie persuasion are saying, that might not be enough.

Dont u ******* dare @stuartfindlay95

****. OFF.

@Hunter2James: Replying to @SMcCue83

Not surprised he’s turned into a superb defender

Findlay, who progressed through the youth ranks at Celtic before continuing his development at Newcastle United, plays alongside Bruce’s son Alex, himself a former Sheffield Wednesday centre-back, at Rugby Park.

The 23-year-old was called into the Scotland senior team earlier this year, alongside the Owls right-back, Liam Palmer.

He is not the only left-sided centre-back in whom Sheffield Wednesday are being credited with an interest.

NW.de claimed earlier this month that the Owls have agreed to sign Julian Börner on a free transfer from Arminia Bielefeld.
