Askou remains in the frame, but the Hoops are clearly widening the net.

Stephen Robinson wants wages freed up for a full rebuild.

š£ Linlithgow Rose blocked from SPFL playoff despite stunning title win. Rose won 11 of their last 12 to take the Lowland League but cannot enter the pyramid playoff due to missing the bronze licence deadline.
