Brad Lyons and Lewis Mayo are "massive losses" for Kilmarnock but their departure will allow Neil manager McCann to put his mark on the squad, says former goalkeeper Cammy Bell.

Defender Mayo and captain Lyons have both joined Aberdeen, while fellow midfielder David Watson is leaving to join English Championship newcomers Bolton.

"They are going to be massive losses, especially Lyons," said Bell on the BBC's Scottish Football Podcast.

"He's been a top player, top performer for Kilmarnock for such a long time, captain there as well.

"Mayo has been brilliant since he's came in, a real steady head at the back of the pitch for Kilmarnock.

"They're going to be big losses, but this is an opportunity for McCann to put his own stamp on the team.

"It will free up a number of wages with Watson going as well.

"It'll allow Neil to bring in players of his style, the way he wants to approach next season, because certainly they won't want to be in any sort of relegation trouble like they were this season.

"Around the club there was a lot of nerves towards the end of the season which disrupts plans for the following season.

"Neil will be working hard to recruit the players and the type he wants to bring into the team."
