Former Raith Rovers player Craig Wilson insists he harbours no hard feelings towards the club despite being shown the Stark’s Park exit.
Wilson was one of the 15 players released by the Kirkcaldy side last week due to financial constraints caused by missing out on promotion to the SPL to rivals Dunfermline.
The loss of takings from derbies against the Pars meant Raith were forced to make major cuts to their budget, with the axe falling heavily on the playing staff.
Wilson, who had been at the club for four years, is now desperately hoping his agent can fix him up with another side sooner rather than later.
“I have nothing yet,” he said. “Many teams are letting a lot of players go this summer, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that my agent can secure me a full-time job.
“My partner and I have a 14-month-old daughter, so I would even be willing to contemplate going part-time just to find work.
“There have been a lot of rumours doing the rounds that I was going to be signing for Dunfermline but that is all they are at the moment, just rumours.
“When the Pars won promotion out of the first division it meant a big drop in revenue for Raith Rovers and we were told that they could not afford to keep anyone who was out of contract.
“We knew big cuts were coming, but it was still a shock when we realised 15 players were leaving. It was a hard one to take.
“We had all been together for a few years and had some great times, so it was really sad to see the team being broken up.
“There are no hard feelings though as these things happen in football. The gaffer John McGlynn made me the player I am today and I cannot thank him enough.
“He faces a difficult task in the summer rebuilding the side but I am sure that whoever he signs will do a great job for Raith Rovers.”
