The striker completed pre-season rehabilitation with the Bairns and was rewarded with a deal by Ray McKinnon, but he has failed to recover from a series of niggles that have followed his knee injury that kept him out of the game for almost a year.

David McCracken told shareholders at the Bairns AGM the ex-Celtic youth , who turns 26 next week, was likely to have a new temporary club for the remainder of the season.

Stranraer have announced he will join the Blues where he will replace ex-Bairn Mark Stewart who has left to take a job outside of football.
