McGhee ends interest in Kennedy
by Gareth Maher, 25 July 2008
Motherwell manager Mark McGhee has told Setanta Sports that a deal to bring Celtic's John Kennedy to the club is now off.
The Scotland international is some way down the pecking order with the Clydesdale Bank SPL Champions and has been linked with a move away.
McGhee is a known admirer of the centre-back and was eager to recruit him for the coming season, but a negotiations with Celtic have now been brought to a halt.
"Celtic were insistent on a deal that my board feel was too rich for Motherwell," McGhee revealed to Setanta Sports.
"It is very disappointing for me as it looks like he is going to go elsewhere."
McGhee believes that another club will now come in and sign the defender on a short-term loan deal.
