This might be a flaky link or hunch and I'm not really sure where I'm going with it, but anyway. When I first heard about these 2 guys bidding and I saw various links to East Kilbride my immediate reaction was - "I wonder if they have any links to the Kean's?". The Keans (Jim and Paul) own Kean Construction which is probably the biggest builder\developer in the area, as they built huge chunks of EK. Anyway these guys are Celtic supporters and Jim actually has a box at Breezeblock Boulevard. However they are also VERY close friends with Ally and Bomber (do you remember an old crocks game at Ibrox on a Sunday afternoon years ago, when Gough, Laudrup etc played against a Scottish crocks select I think it was? Well Ally actually arranged for Jim Kean to play the first half for the Scottish select [he played for Clyde years ago] as a gesture to a mate). I wasn't sure what any link would suggest so I ignored it last night.
Then I wake up this morning to find that Bomber is backing this bid and that he gave his talk from 'K' Park Training Academy in East Kilbride. What does the 'K' stand for? 'Kean'. It's the Kean's own complex that they built a couple of years ago. As I say I'm not sure whether this 'coincidence' means anything at all, but one thing is an absolute stick on - Ally's VERY good mates (the Kean's) will know McKenna etc VERY well indeed so Ally may well have some inside track on these developments.
