Can anyone help me update this list of released players, or even add to it if you know of released players still clubless. Clubs after name is whereabouts for 2007-08.

A huge update here, added alot of U19 players that seem to have vanished between last season and this, in some cases I have no 1st name.

Additional

Reid, Alan 21/10/1980 St. Mirren (Competitive trial with Morton)
Smith, Dan 05/10/1986 Aberdeen (Competitive trial with St. Johnstone)

Mark Booth 7/3/80 (released by Pollok 08-09)
Craig Lumsden 26/4/84 (released by Forfar 08-09)
Ian Grainger 14/7/78 (released by Annan 08-09)
Danny Dunglinson 24/5/87 (released by Annan 08-09)

May be others I've missed...

Clyde also released Michael Doherty, Calum McGregor, Juan Carrio, Ryan Craig, Martin McGowan, Kyle Hendry and Paul MacDonald.

BTW, I'm almost finished the list of Clyde players for the Who's Who of Scottish football project, I have been busy lately, but should get round to finishing it tonight or tomorrow at the latest

Canning signed for Hibs in February

Collin I think has singed up for a Championship team, possibly Norwich.

Greg Fleming has signed for Oldham.

Lauchlan is on trial at Dundee.

Andy Lawrie signed for Stirling Albion yesterday.

Danny McBreen signed for York.

Noubissie I think is on trial at Wycombe

Yantorno is on trial with Hibs.

Thanks very much - I'll update with the certs.

Cheers for the 'released' update - but regarding the Who's Who, hold tight for the time being as response from elsewhere was fairly tepid!

Falkirk also released Peter McMahon, Alan Galbraith and Lee Nichol if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the update.

David Craig was pictured in one of the papers this week signing for a junior side. Can't recall which one.

Colin Scott came out of retirement very briefly to help Gretna out of a crisis and has since returned into retirement. He's a driving instructor now.

Derek Soutar was signing for someone down South according to this morning's Daily Record but I read it in the sandwich shop and can't remember who.

Kevin Cuthbert and Bryn Halliwell are both training with us this week with a view to winning a contract. So is former Aberdeen keeper Ryan Esson.

Yeah I took David Craig off 20 mins ago - not sure how it was still there for you to add! He signed for Arthurlie.

Ta for the update.

I started the reply and then had to go off to do something somewhat more urgent at work and came back to finish it. Your reply to Bourne's post wasn't there when I started it.

No problem - glad to see the 'Lie loading up their defence with men more than half way to 75!

I know his brother, Double Decker

Boom boom.

Stephen Bradely (Falkirk)

Thanks mate, added.

Signed for Carluke.

cheers Miketheheadlesschicken

...............Signed a one year deal with us at lunchtime today. Our interest in Kevin Cuthbert and Ryan Esson has ended though I think.

Jordan Halsman has signed for Motherwell.

Brian Mcphee has signed for Bathgate Thistle for next season.

Thanks for all three updates guys.

Steve Manson signed for Forfar

thanks Captain

Isn't Fabian Yantorno signed up at Hibs for next season?

Bobby Barr appeared as a trialist for Montrose against St Johnstone yesterday, so maybe one to keep an eye on. Also the released Aberdeen 'keeper Greg Kelly is only on non-contract terms with Saints, so will probably rejoin your list within a few weeks once Alan Main is fit again.

Gretna's Paul Murray has signed for Shrewsbury Town.

cheers Radford.

Quite a few additions and removals today - would be easier if clubs were a bit more open about who they'd canned. Still not found any of the young Rangers players shown the door. And none from Celtic either?

Not that I've seen - he seems to be training with them until he proves his fitness.

Morton have a Chris (?) Smith on trial at the moment who is a former Rangers player. From the sound of things, he was released in the summer.

Yep, there's been a Chris Smith at Ibrox for 3 years now.

First time I've been on here
It was in the papers t'other day that he has been asked to prove his fitness before getting a full contract. The player said that he was almost back to be able to train fully with the first team.

On the Celtic front

Pressley - you've covered and I presume he'll be taking his Scotland National team duties seriously now
The only guys I know for sure that have left are
Adam Virgo - to Brighton (free)
Diarmuid O'Carroll - his contract was up and he joined Morecambe
Michael McGovern - out of contract, accepted a 1 year deal with Dundee Utd as backup for Zaluska

as for an ex-Celt - Ryan McCann who was at QotS I believe turned down a new deal and the last I heard he was headed to Morecambe also, but I see you've a QotS man on here who'll be able to fill you in better on that

Players out of contract about which I've heard nothing are:
Rocco Quinn
John Kennedy
Jim O'Brien
Scott Cuthbert
Daniel Lafferty
Brian McEwan - would have been out of contract but already left Youth setup - whereabouts unknown

Interesting Web Board btw....and thanks for the info too. If I hear any more I'll post it up.

Thanks Popeye - any further info please post.

Has Brian McEwan left Celtic altogether then?

As far as I know thats a yes. He didn't appear in any games for the squads as far as I know

Also the following failed to appear and I presume have left from the various squads
Sean Anderson - CMF
Gerard Barron - GK
? Devlin -
Simon Dunne - CD
James Gilpin - GK - believe he returned to Newcastle area
Owen Jones - GK
Tim Kielly - ST - may have joined Kilkenny City
Brian McEwan - as stated
Paul McInnes - CMF - was a good prospect but not seen all season; he's from Saltcoats I believe
Chris Nicholson - GK - from Athlone
Stephen O'Donnel - MF
? Travis - ???

I am not 100% on these but I have carried their names all last season and they didn't appear in any teams down to U17 AFAIK. I don't have any whereabouts for them except the possibility for Tim Kielly.

I didn't see any reason to fill him in. McCann has never been without a club and never been included in Jamie's list. Not sure why you've brought him up at all?

You are correct by the way. McCann turned down a "very good offer" for a new contract and signed for Morecambe a few weeks ago. He wasn't released. Stephen Grindlay also turned down an offer to stay in order to join Ayr United. He was never on the list either.

We released six players without making them an offer:
James Baty (has emigrated to Australia and found a club there I think)
Robert Campbell (signed for East Fife)
Brian Gilmour (heard nothing about him)
Jim Lauchlan (played for Dundee at Montrose again yesterday and has now been with them three weeks or so as he bids to get a contract)
John O'Neill (joined Stirling Albion as player/assistant manager)
Eric Paton (had already signed a pre-contract with Dundee)

Thanks Mr Drifter. Excuse my lack of joined-up English in the post. Put it down to newbie-itis.

Could someone "fill me in" (OK - I think I'll drop that line too) on the 'Who's Who in Scottish Football' that was mentioned back near the start?
Perhaps offboard by direct mail.

I notice Evangelino Valentim is not on the list. He left us in January, has he found a new club?

I only did people released in the summer of '08.

was McQuilken released by QotS at the end of last season??

He signed a new contract after the cup final I believe.

No. Signed a one year extension as Jamie said. Has been playing as left midfielder latterly having lost his place at full back to Bob Harris though.

Kyle Hendry has joined Blackburn Rovers, Michael McGowan and Kevin Bradley can be added to the list.

Hugh Robertson signed for Culter and Stuart Soane released by Peterhead signed for Huntly. Dean MacDonald has signed for Rushden and Diamonds.

Thanks for the updates guys. Will update list sat.

Derek Soutar was trying to win a deal with Hartlepool- not sure if he has

Bobby Barr has signed for Albion Rovers.

Link

Mark Tinkler has joined Whitby Town.

Aaron Labonte got released by Dunfermline this summer.

Sean Anderson joined Dundee last season and has just signed for the Shire.

Stephen Oates signed a new contract with Shire after initially leaving. Axel Orrstrom is with AC Oulu of Finland.

Thanks CK
