Kyle reveals Dons talks

Kevin Kyle has revealed he has already met Aberdeen boss Mark McGhee to discuss a potential move to Pittodrie when his Kilmarnock contract expires later this month. McGhee is one of a number of suitors for the 28-year-old former Sunderland and Coventry striker, who looks set to leave Rugby Park this summer regardless of whether Killie retain their Clydesdale Bank Premier League status. "He's already said that he likes me, he likes my style of play and he thinks I can do a job at Aberdeen for him next season," said Kyle. "I feel quite flattered that he's thought that, but it means that I don't have to go out and impress him on Wednesday because he's already made his mind up about me. What I've got to do, though, is concentrate on doing a job for Kilmarnock." Kyle, who is based in Glasgow and whose young son is back in Sunderland, added: "I read an article a few days ago which said that I wouldn't sign for Aberdeen because it's too far away but that's just not true. "Mark McGhee and I sat down and I asked him what a normal week's training would be. He explained that, depending on midweek matches, I could expect a Wednesday off and a Sunday off after Saturday games. "If that's the case then I wouldn't need to stay up in Aberdeen all the time. I could commute by driving up on Sunday night and come back down again on Tuesday. "The bulk of Aberdeen's away games will be in and around the Glasgow area anyway so the geography isn't a major obstacle. But I want to weigh up all my options. Right now, everything else is on the back burner because my main focus is keeping Kilmarnock in the SPL."
