Newcastle's Freddie Woodman a 'rising star' on loan at Kilmarnock, says Lee McCulloch

On-loan Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman has been lauded as a star of the future by interim Kilmarnock manager Lee McCulloch.

But only after the 20-year-old prompted his boss to give him a mention after the 2-0 win over Hamilton Academical.

"I always forget to mention the goalkeeper," said McCulloch. "He told me that after the game.

"He's a rising star and an under-20 international. It shows you the standard we have in the dressing-room."

Woodman, who has been capped by England at every level up to under-21s, pulled off two important saves from Dougie Imrie in the first half.
