illy Reid left James McArthur out of Hamilton's friendly against Stirling Albion to keep him fit for a potential move away from the club.[LNB] Hamilton are in talks with "a couple of clubs" over a potential transfer, according to Reid, and he was left out of the weekend win over Stirling Albion as a result.[LNB]Wigan remain favourites to sign the 22-year-old, but West Brom, Rangers and Leeds have all been credited with an interest as well.[LNB]Reid said: "I am getting a bit fed up being asked what's happening with James McArthur. [LNB]"But things might be moving and, if I had played him against Stirling, he might have picked up an injury and I don't want to do something that might hold matters up. [LNB]"I know the chairman has been talking to a couple of clubs, but we have been here before and he is still with us."[LNB]McArthur, meanwhile, is trying not to think too much about his future.[LNB]"It's flattering to be linked with clubs and it gives you a boost," he said in the Daily Record.[LNB]"But until anything happens I'll be fully committed to Hamilton and will give my all."
