Jim Hamilton, a regular this year, has been strongly linked with a move to St.Mirren (well...it is surely the one club that he's never played for before!) and McManus is set to join up with Jim Jefferies' Killie side at Rugby Park.
Despite turning in a series of excellent performances in the latter stages of last season McManus has severly dissapointed this year - due in part to a series of injury setbacks - and has seen himself fall out of the first-team reckoning.
Hamilton, on the other hand, has been a regular starter this year - much to the dissapointment of a number of Pars fans! - and despite some dire performances earlier in the campaign (although he's far from alone in that aspect!) his recent appearances have impressed many Pars fans.
It remains to be seen whether either deal will go ahead before the transfer window deadline tomorrow night, if indeed either deal goes ahead at all...
