Cammy Bell has hit out at Dundee United for putting him up for sale on social media before sealing his return to Kilmarnock.

Having signed two shot-stoppers during the summer, United announced on Twitter and their website that they would listen to offers for the 30-year-old.

Just days later both parties came to an agreement that allowed Bell to secure a second spell at Rugby Park on a two-year deal.

"It just got a little bit messy and I wasn't best pleased," Bell admitted when asked about United's move.

"I actually said to the club [United] that I felt it had been handled poorly with the Twitter thing.

"I don't think anything should have come public from myself or from them. I was disappointed to be honest that it ended like that."

He added: "But it's in the past now. I didn't leave with any bad blood. I had a great time there and enjoyed it.

"I'm still good friends with the manager. We shook hands when I left and I wished them all the best."
