Freed Dunfermline Athletic defender linked with move to Northern Ireland
Freed Dunfermline defender Aaron Comrie could be on his way to Glentoran in the Northern Irish Premiership.
The former St Johnstone full-back was one of 14 players who left East End Park at the end of the season.
And the 28-year-old is reported to now be in talks with Glentoran about a move to Belfast.
Comrie spent six years with Dunfermline after leaving Saints in 2019 and racked up his 200th appearance for the Pars back in January.
He has been a dependable presence in the Fifers back line for five campaigns in the Championship and is a League One winner from two years ago.
However, with a big shake-up expected at Dunfermline this summer, he was deemed surplus to requirements when the club announced their retained and released list earlier this month.
Glentoran finished the season in third place in the NIFL Premiership but lost out to eventual winners Cliftonville in the semi-finals of the play-off for a UEFA Conference League spot.
Manager Declan Devine is eager to strengthen his squad after missing out on Europe and has targeted Comrie's experience in his summer recruitment.
The Glens' squad already includes Comrie's former Dunfermline and Celtic youth team-mate, Joe Thomson, as well as fellow Scot Liam Burt.
Comrie was joined by Rhys Breen, Joe Chalmers, Craig Clay, Michael O'Halloran, Omar Taylor-Clarke, Craig Wighton and David Wotherspoon, as well as six loan players, in being released by the Pars after the end of the season.
Wighton has since joined Montrose on a two-year deal after opting to go part-time, whilst Breen has spoken of facing a 'make or break' move following his exit.

Ex-Celtic boss Neil Lennon sets lofty Dunfermline ambition
The former Celtic captain and manager was recently confirmed as the Pars manager on a permanent basis after taking over temporarily towards the end of last season, and keeping them in the Championship. It was a move that raised eyebrows at first, especially with his recent jobs being at some of the biggest clubs in Romania and Cyprus and also with the Hoops and Hibs on his CV. But Lennon is encouraged by the ambition being showing at East End Park and is matching that himself with the aim of competing in continental competition for the first time in eight years. "The ultimate ambition for us all is to try and get promotion and get back into the European picture," he told BBC Scotland.

"I'm not saying we're going to do it in one year, but hopefully two. We can sort of see the signs that we're going in the right direction." The 53-year-old has explained how owner and American based entrepreneur James Bord had made him feel wanted ahead of taking the decision to stay on. "I think we had in one week, about seven phone calls where he convinced me to come, and I liked that," Lennon added. "He made me feel that I was their man. And I feel a sense of loyalty to him now. "I've got a good relationship with him. I like the way he works. I like his ideas on the game. It's new for me to learn as well. "Ultimately, it's about building a team that's going to be competitive in the league. It's going to get people through the door. That's what I want to do. And play a really strong brand of football."

Scotland starlet hungry for caps after under radar European league title-winning breakthrough season

Scotland's Serie-A based cohort of Scott McTominay, Billy Gilmour and Lewis Ferguson are hogging the headlines for their trophy exploits on the continent, but there is another Scot also shining in Europe. Step forward right-back Max Johnston, fresh from winning the Austrian Bundesliga with Sturm Graz. The 21-year-old has forced his way into the first team under Jürgen Säumel and can look forward to Champions League football once again with Die Schwoazn. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This has been a breakthrough season for Johnston, who moved to Graz from Motherwell two years ago. While he was part of the squad that won the league title in the 2023/24 campaign, he has played a significant role this time around. He has featured against the likes of Borussia Dortmund in European football and won his first Scotland cap back in March, coming on as a sub against Greece.

(Photo by Craig Williamson / SNS Group) | SNS Group Johnston has flown under the radar for some Scotland fans, but over in Austria, he is winning rave reviews for his performances as an attack-minded full-back for Sturm Graz. He faces stiff competition to be a starter for Scotland in that area, given that Tony Ralston currently occupies the jersey. Nathan Patterson and Aaron Hickey are also coming back from long-term injuries. Scotland are well stocked in that department. Johnston's career trajectory is only upwards right now. His father Allan was also a Scotland internationalist, landing 18 caps and two goals, and has played a key part in his son's development, taking him on loan to Queen of the South and offering plenty of advice. Back when it is was largely unfashionable for Scottish players to leave the UK, Johnston Snr decided to make the move to French club Rennes for a season in 1996. He played 23 games for the Breton outfit after six years at Hearts, before moving back to Britain with Sunderland. His experiences meant that Johnston Jnr had an easy sounding board when Sturm Graz came calling.

"But of course I was lucky enough that I got to ask him for a bit of advice on how he managed to deal with moving abroad and stuff. He's been a really big help and he really pushed me to do it. "I think he was telling me that sometimes you just need to take a chance. There's always going to be competition no matter what club or where you play your football. There's always going to be competition, but sometimes you just need to be brave enough to take that step and work your way into the team. I think that's what I've done. "I think I was just more excited that I had the opportunity to go out and try something different. You see how well the other boys over in Italy had done at that time. They had a lot of success, so for me it was a great opportunity. "It's a reality shock when you know you're going to have dinners made for you and that and you're coming home from training. But no, it's something that I've really enjoyed the whole process of." Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Not quite everything. Johnston is bashful when he is asked how his German is coming along. "Don't ask, I don't want to know!" he laughed. Such has been Johnston's form this season for a title-winning club, he has been loosely linked with a move. The defender has ambition but for now is enjoying the moment in Graz.

I'm contracted for another two years over there and I'm really enjoying it. But obviously as a player, there's a level I want to reach, so we'll see what happens. "The club's been really good to me since I went over. They really helped me out, helped me settle in when I first got over. It's good, we've got a good changing room as well, so the boys are quite close and we spend a lot of time together."

'The experience of winning the double last year and winning the league this year, you just see how much it means to the fans and the city's amazing to be fair. "This year we had a big stage just outside the stadium and we just went and seen the fans for a bit and stuff, but it was amazing. One I'll never forget. I don't know how many fans were there, but it was a lot of people." Johnston's father faced an arduous journey to be a proud parent on the sidelines in Piraeus three months ago - "I think he got three flights that day to get over just for the game, so I'm very grateful that I've got him on my side and I'm just lucky that he got to see it," said Johnston. He is hoping his dad won't have to travel quite as far for his next one, when Scotland play Iceland at Hampden on Friday.

Neil Lennon reveals latest on talks with Victor Wanyama over Dunfermline Athletic extension
Neil Lennon remains convinced Victor Wanyama could be a 'real asset' for Dunfermline. And the Pars boss has refused to rule out a return to East End Park for the Kenya internationalist this summer. The former Celtic and Spurs midfielder saw out last season with the Fifers, who subsequently reported he was one of the players with whom 'dialogue remains ongoing'. With Charlie Gilmour having been recruited on a three-year deal, Chris Hamilton having penned a contract extension and Tashan Oakley-Boothe set to re-sign, Dunfermline appear well served in midfield. However, Lennon has left the door open for Wanyama – who turns 34 later this month and shares a birthday with his ex-Celtic boss – to stay on with the Championship hopefuls for next season. 'Possibly, yeah, possibly,' said Lennon when asked whether Wanyama could sign again. 'I don't know yet. 'Once he got fit, he looked great and he played really well in the last game [against Morton]. 'If he had a good pre-season, he could be a real asset for us.' Wanyama was unveiled as a new recruit to great fanfare just days after Lennon's appointment as boss in March. However, it soon became clear that, without a competitive outing with previous club CF Montréal for eight months, the 33-year-old was well short of match fitness. And his debut in the 3-0 defeat to Ayr United ended in embarrassing fashion when he was shown a straight red card for handling the ball on the ground after a slip. 'We had a chuckle about it,' added Lennon. 'I was going to say, we've all done that, but I never did that!' Wanyama recently spoke of his love for Scotland and his connection to Lennon, who signed the midfielder for Celtic in 2011 before selling him to Southampton two years later for a reported £12.5 million. The African insisted he would be 'happy' to re-sign for Dunfermline. However, with talks on-going, Lennon has revealed the reason his former protégé asked to be excused international duty with Kenya for two forthcoming friendlies against Chad. 'He's doing his coaching barges,' explained Lennon. 'He's actually doing them in Belfast, I think, with the IFA. 'That's another one he wants to add to his resumé, the coaching side of things as well. 'So maybe there might be something there for him going forward.'
