Neil Lennon's son Gallagher's St Mirren release confirmed
The Buddies announced their retained list this afternoon and Gallagher Lennon has suffered the pain of being released by the club he joined two years ago. The 19-year-old came through the academy at Partick Thistle before making the move to Paisley in the summer of 2023. Following that came loans at Linlithgow Rose, Dumbarton, Annan and Bonnyrigg Rose. But Lennon hasn't done enough to convince Stephen Robinson to keep him on with a view to challenging for the first team.

Since joining relegated Bonnyrigg in January, the defender made 16 League Two appearances but couldn't stop Rose from dropping back into the Lowland League. Lennon Sr's future remains up in the air too after he joined Dunfermline on a short-term basis near the end of last season and managed to keep them up. The former Celtic captain and manager remains in talks with the Championship club about the prospect of staying on for a longer term stint.

Celtic legend's son released by Scottish Premiership club as he begins search for new team
A CELTIC legend's son has been left without a club after he was released at the end of his contract. Gallagher Lennon, son of Celtic hero Neil, will now begin a new chapter of his career after being shown the door by St Mirren. 2 Gallagher Lennon training for St Mirren Credit: Willie Vass 2 Neil Lennon watching his son play for Bonnyrigg Rose in the League Two play-off against East Kilbride Credit: Michael Schofield, News Group Newspapers Ltd Lennon, 19, spent just two years in Paisley after he swapped Partick Thistle for the Buddies in 2023. The Northern Ireland youth international failed to make a single first team appearance for the Saints but spent most of his time away from Paisley on loan. He was shipped out four times during his two-year stint as he got a taste of senior action down the leagues with Dumbarton, Bonnyrigg Rose, Annan Athletic and Linlithgow Rose. Lennon made his senior debut in 2023 while at Linlithgow when he was aged just 17. Most recently at Bonnyrigg, Lennon Jr made 18 appearances for the club this season but couldn't help them prevent the drop out of the SPFL. The teenager came off the bench in both of the League Two play-off games against East Kilbride as Bonnyrigg dropped down to the Lowland League again following a 3-1 defeat on aggregate. Clubs have now been put on alert as the youngster is available on a free transfer. St Mirren confirmed the midfielder's exit along with eight other players - three of whom depart following the end of their loan spells. Dennis Adeniran, Caolan Boyd-Munce, Elvis Bwomono, Owen Foster and Richard Taylor have all been released as well. Ryan Alebiosu, Zach Hemming and Roland Idowu will all return to their parent clubs. Son of Celtic legend Neil Lennon opens up on 'honour' of playing for Northern Ireland Lennon's exit could tee up a shock move to work under his father at Dunfermline. The two-time Celtic boss is still in talks with Pars chiefs over extending his deal beyond this season. Lennon joined the club on a short-term deal in March to help steer them clear of relegation. He brought in old pal Victor Wanyama to assist but it was actually Hamilton Accies that ended up doing them the biggest favour. Dunfermline were on the brink of the play-offs until the South Lanarkshire club were handed their shock 15-point deduction which left them bottom of the table and moved the Pars into safety. It's unclear whether he will stay in Fife for another season but if he does then he could be tempted to link up with his out-of-contract son.
