Danny Armstrong has turned down a new deal at Kilmarnock. The club's manager, Derek McInnes, confirmed that Armstrong will not be at the club next season and any potential suitors need to make a suitable offer during the January transfer window. Armstrong has been linked with Hearts, but McInnes insists there has been no official contact from them. McInnes regularly communicates with Armstrong's agent and Armstrong himself, and believes there has been no contact from Hearts or any other club.

Michael Stewart believes Danny Armstrong would easily walk into the Hearts XI. Armstrong is in the final year of his deal at Rugby Park.
