McGhee warning for Malcolm

Motherwell manager Mark McGhee has warned Bob Malcolm that he has made his final contract offer to the experienced utility-man.
Malcolm, 27, joined the Steelmen midway through the last campaign on a short-term deal and helped them secure UEFA Cup qualification via a third-placed finish in the SPL table.
The former Rangers and Derby County player has been offered a new deal by the Fir Park club, but McGhee is ready to look elsewhere should he drag his heels on putting pen to paper.
He said: "Bob said that for the next couple of weeks he would like to keep his options open and see what's out there - he doesn't want to rush anything.
"I have given him until the start of pre-season training, which is July 3, before we have to look elsewhere."
