Hearts agree to let Colin Doyle stay at Kilmarnock
The Irishman is out of contract at the end of the season and is not expected to be offered a new deal by the Edinburgh club.
He moved to Rugby Park in August on a loan agreement which is due to end this month, but Kilmarnock have told Hearts they want to keep Doyle for the remainder of the campaign.

Doyle joined Hearts in July 2018 and made 13 appearances in total at first-team level. He moved to Kilmarnock after Robbie Neilson returned to Tynecastle Park as manager last summer.
So far this season he has managed two senior appearances for Alex Dyer’s side – against Dunfermline and Clyde in the Betfred Cup.
