Airdrie appoint ex-St Mirren boss Lennon as new manager

Danny Lennon led St Mirren to a historic Scottish League Cup triumph in 2013

Airdrieonians have appointed former St Mirren boss Danny Lennon as their new manager.

The 56-year-old, who led the Paisley side to their 2013 League Cup triumph, replaces Rhys McCabe after spending three years out of management.

Lennon, who had a spell as Airdrie caretaker boss in 2016, had been out of work since leaving Clyde in 2022.

Airdrie have started their Scottish Championship campaign with two draws and a defeat from their opening three games.

McCabe took charge of two of those matches before resigning from his role as player-manager.

Lennon's first fixture in charge is a trip to Arbroath on Saturday (15:00 BST).
