St Mirren release Reid and Kean

ST MIRREN have released utility player Alan Reid and striker Stewart Kean. But midfield pair Garry Brady and Stephen O'Donnell, who missed most of the season with a foot injury, have the option of one-year extensions.

Manager Gus MacPherson said: "That is most of the contract situations determined but we hope to have something to report about the other two or three that are still outstanding pretty soon."

The Love Street manager dismissed rumours he was trying to sign Celtic reserve striker Paul McGowan, but he is awaiting news on genuine signing targets, including Inverness striker Dennis Wyness. MacPherson told www.saintmirren.net: "We've still heard nothing back from Dennis Wyness' representatives, but we are at the same stage with one or two other player enquiries."

MacPherson also warded off reported interest in midfielder Andy Dorman from Plymouth and Bolton. "Andy Dorman is a major part of our plans for next season," he said.
