Tiernan Lynch: Larne boss to stay at Inver Park despite St Johnstone approach


Larne boss Tiernan Lynch has rejected the chance to take over the vacant managerial position at Scottish Premiership club St Johnstone.

Lynch, who took over as Larne manager in 2017 and has won back-to-back Irish Premiership titles, had been the subject of an approach from the Saints last week.

The Perth club have been without a manager since the dismissal of Craig Levein earlier this month after a run of four straight defeats.

That prompted speculation that Friday night’s 3-1 win over Cliftonville could be former Glentoran assistant manager Lynch’s last game in charge of the Inver outfit.

It was reported that owner Adam Webb had identified Lynch as his prime target and that it was down to the club to agree a financial package with the 44-year-old.

However, he will now remain at Inver Park and oversee preparations for their Uefa Conference League trip to Molde on Thursday, after guiding the club into the league phase of the competition.

In doing so, Larne became the first club from Northern Ireland to qualify for the group or league phase of a major European competition.

Alisson: Liverpool boss Arne Slot fears goalkeeper out for 'few weeks' with injury


Liverpool boss Arne Slot fears he will be without goalkeeper Alisson “for a few weeks” following his injury against Crystal Palace.

The Brazil international, 32, went off in the 79th minute after appearing to pull his hamstring when making a clearance.

With Caoimhin Kelleher absent from the squad because of illness, Vitezslav Jaros came on for his Liverpool debut and made one save to keep out a tame effort from Eberechi Eze as the Reds won 1-0.

“With Alisson it is clear he will be out for maybe a few weeks,” Slot told BBC Match of the Day.

Liverpool had been in Champions League action on Wednesday and had a tight turnaround for the trip to Crystal Palace, with the game having kicked off at 12:30 BST on Saturday.

Slot added: “Maybe this is something the FA should look at – if you play Wednesday evening why do we have an early kick-off in an away game?

“Or they have to look at me and rotate all my players, maybe it is also bad luck, I don’t know.

“The positive thing is that Jaros did really well last season when on loan. He was champion and won the cup. He wanted to play desperately. At this club we need three good goalkeepers. He was outstanding today.”

Alisson, who has been at Liverpool since 2018, missed two games last month with a hamstring niggle.
