Lewis Mayo: Kilmarnock sign defender from Rangers after season on loan

Lewis Mayo has returned to Rugby Park on a permanent basis
Kilmarnock have signed defender Lewis Mayo on a three-year contract after paying Rangers an undisclosed fee.
The 23-year-old centre-half was on loan at Rugby Park last season, playing 42 games.
A Scotland Under-21 international, Mayo also filled in at right-back for Derek McInnes' side.
Prior to his initial move to Kilmarnock in 2022, he had two loan spells at Partick Thistle and one with Dunfermline Athletic.
Mayo joined Rangers as a seven-year-old and progressed through their academy but leaves Ibrox without a competitive first-team appearance to his name.
"Everyone at the club thanks Lewis for his commitment and contribution while at Rangers and we wish him well for his future career," Rangers said in a statement confirming his departure.
