Airdrie United manager Sandy Stewart has offered Clydebank boss Kenny Brannigan a post as player-coach.

Brannigan found himself out of a job at the beginning of the week when the Scottish Football League paved the way for Airdrie United to take over the Bankies.

The players Brannigan had lined up for next season have also been offered training facilities by Stewart, and some could earn contracts with the new club.

Stewart told the Daily Record he was confident of having a squad assembled by the start of the new season.

"Obviously I have my own players in mind that I am going to bring in, but we will see what develops," Stewart told the Record.

"I know Kenny well and he came in and trained at Airdrie last season and I feel he is someone who can do a job for me."
