The Eveneing Times decided that Saints had signed McKinstrey last week, however before that particular day was out John Coughlin said he had not even spoken to mcKinstrey, let alone agreed a deal and been signed up.
The news McKinstrey has signed for Dumbarton comes just a few days after rumours that Saints would be signing Dumbarton striker Andy Brown. Coughlin said a few months ago he was watching a striker in a Dumbarton Stranraer match so Brown would fit that bill.
