Northern Ireland bosses in demand as pair linked with lead roles in English game
St Mirren boss and former Northern Ireland midfielder Stephen Robinson has been linked with a move to Plymouth Argyle.
Robinson led Saints to yet another top-six finish in the 2024/25 season, narrowly missing out on Europe on the final day of the campaign.
Ipswich Town boss and Fermanagh man Kieran McKenna will be considered by Brentford if Thomas Frank leaves the club.
Frank is a frontrunner for the Tottenham job after the Europa League winners axed Ange Postecoglou.
Former Glentoran striker Andy Kirk, meanwhile, has left his role as assistant manager to Simo Valakari at St Johnstone.
Sheffield United and Swansea City are considering a move for Leyton Orient and Northern Ireland midfielder Ethan Galbraith.
In the Irish League, Larne have confirmed the departure of their centre-back Shaun Want.
The former Hamilton defender is returning to Scotland for family reasons.
Linfield and Dungannon Swifts will kick-off the 2025/26 season on Friday, July 4 after the Charity Shield date was confirmed by the NI Football League.
The annual curtain-raiser, which sees the Premiership champions face the winners of the Irish Cup, will be played at Windsor Park with a 7:45pm kick-off.
Tickets for the game will be priced at £10 with all profits going to Action Mental Health, NIFL's official charity partner, and can be purchased from the Linfield official website.
Glentoran midfielder Josh Kelly has signed a new contract, extending his stay at the club until the end of the 2025/26 season.
Glens boss Declan Devine stated: 'Josh was outstanding in pre-season ahead of last season, showing incredible attitude and determination to earn his place in the starting XI.
'His performances in the opening three games, playing at right-back, were exceptional and his injury was a huge blow, not just for him personally but for the entire squad.
'Football can be cruel, but Josh has never let his head drop. His work ethic throughout his rehabilitation has been outstanding.'

SPFL club forced to cancel friendly against Scottish Premiership side due to stadium repairs
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TWO SPFL clubs have had to rejig their pre-season plans after a scheduled friendly between both clubs was cancelled this week. Morton were due to host St Mirren in a non-competitive clash on Tuesday, July 8, with both teams looking to step up their preparations for the Premier Sports Cup which gets underway just a few days later. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The roof at the famous 'cowshed' still neds repaired Credit: Kenny Ramsay The game was set to be held at Morton's home stadium Cappielow Park, but it's no longer allowed to go ahead due to repairs to the 'Cowshed' roof after it suffered damage from Storm Eowyn in January. Several corrugated iron panels on the roof had blown off as the West coast of Scotland was hit by gale force winds. Morton have still yet to fix the damage but the club tonight confirmed that repair work will begin next week. However, the friendly cannot be played while the construction takes place. A statement from the Scottish Championship club read: "The club are pleased to confirm that the long-awaited works to repair the Cowshed Roof begin on Monday. "It is expected that works will continue throughout most of July and be completed by the start of the William Hill Championship season when we welcome Dunfermline to Cappielow on 2nd August. "Following discussions with our contractor, the pre-season match scheduled against St Mirren on Tuesday 8th July has now been cancelled. "We confirm the Premier Sports Cup tie versus Stenhousemuir, due to be played at Cappielow on 15th July, will go ahead but without supporters in the Cowshed. "We will provide an update on that in due course. "We thank supporters in advance for their understanding on this matter, and look forward to having the Cowshed back in full working order for the 2025/26 William Hill Championship campaign." A statement from St Mirren said: 'Morton have today informed us that they will no longer be able to host the planned Communities Cup friendly match at Cappielow on Tuesday 8th July. 'With the match now cancelled, the club is looking at alternative options to aid our preparations for the Premier Sports Cup group stages and will update when possible.'

New eras begin and rivalries renewed... next season's standout Scottish Premiership clashes
The countdown to the 2025-26 Premiership campaign has now officially begun following the release of next season's fixture list. Kilmarnock and last year's promotion play-off winners Livingston will get the ball rolling at Rugby Park on Saturday August 2 in the opening weekend's sole 3pm kick-off. Four other matches — including Celtic v St Mirren — will be shown on TV in a surprise change from the norm. Eleven of the 12 top-flight clubs — Celtic being the exception — will have already tasted competitive action courtesy of European qualification and Premier Sports Cup group-stage matches. Attention will then turn to what promises to be another thrilling Premiership campaign, and Mail Sport has picked out some key fixtures for fans to jot down in the diary. Motherwell v Rangers (August 2) New Rangers boss Russell Martin will hope to have hit the ground running on the continent before he takes his side to Fir Park to face fellow Premiership debutant Jens Berthel Askou. The pair were team-mates at Norwich City, and Martin revealed messages were immediately exchanged after discovering they'd been thrown together for matchday one. Rangers have found themselves playing catch-up to their rivals across the city on the opening day in each of the last two years after dropping points against Kilmarnock and Hearts respectively. That's a trend Martin needs to halt. Falkirk v Dundee Utd (August 3) The Bairns ended up making hard work of their journey back to the top tier following a 15-year absence. They ultimately prevailed, however, and that's all that matters. It might be asking a bit much to expect the Championship winners to follow in United's footsteps by clinching a European spot at the first time of asking following promotion, but they will at least look to lay down a marker for the year ahead in front of a packed stadium against Jim Goodwin's men. Dundee v Dundee Utd (August 30) It's fair to say the appointment of Steven Pressley has done little to capture the imagination of the Dens Park faithful. No surprise considering the former Scotland defender was once on their neighbours' books. However, he's been granted an early opportunity to get them right on side by picking up three points in the derby. Rangers v Celtic (August 31) For all Rangers' issues on the park last season, the players didn't have much trouble getting themselves up for Old Firm clashes. Aside from a September defeat at Celtic Park, the Ibrox side were arguably the better team in the three other league meetings which followed. Abysmal form against pretty much everyone else proved to be their undoing. Coming into this one level on points with Celtic — at the very least — is a must. Hearts v Hibs (October 4) Steven Naismith had already been given the bullet by the time Edinburgh's big two locked horns for the first time last October. David Gray looked all but certain to suffer the same fate after a miserable start, and a 1-1 draw at Easter Road did little to help his cause. Good thing they stuck with him. The former Scottish Cup-winninf captain turned things around and guided his side to third spot with room to spare. Derek McInnes will make his Edinburgh derby bow in front of an expectant home crowd at Tynecastle. Kilmarnock v Motherwell (November 22) Stuart Kettlewell's departure from Motherwell in January came as a shock, but his absence from Scottish football hasn't lasted too long having been handed the reins at Killie. With a host of first-team players having already moved on this summer, he has a big job on his hands. Getting one over on some of his main critics within the Motherwell support would be an added bonus. Livingston v Celtic (December 27) The prospect of the journey along the M8 to Livingston tends to send shivers down the spine of Celtic fans. It's hard to work out why, however. They've won their last four at Almondvale, scoring 12 in the process. David Martindale has hinted he'd like to implement a change in style on Livi's return to the Premiership. It will be interesting to see whether or not he is successful. Celtic v Rangers (2026 — January 3) What better way to bring in 2026 than with the second Old Firm instalment of the season. Rangers thumped their rivals 3-0 in the corresponding fixture, but dropping four points over the next seven days brought them back to earth with a bump. Aberdeen v Celtic (February 4) A chilly midweek drive to Pittodrie lies in wait for the champions in early February. Sealing third spot will be the Dons' main ambition next season, but that will be no mean feat while also attempting a run in Europe. St Mirren v Rangers (March 14) Not one that would have previously stood out on the calendar, but Stephen Robinson's men took seven points from the teams' four meetings last season. After watching his players draw 2-2 in Paisley in April, former Ibrox interim boss Barry Ferguson admitted the fear factor was gone. The Saints are testament to that.
