‘Substantial additional funds’ have been made immediately available to the manager, a statement this morning said.

McKinnon, who has spoken several times about the need to strengthen and enhance the quality in his squad, will be able to use the money now for free agents or for signings from other clubs when the transfer window opens in January.
