LESMAHAGOW and Larkhall Thistle completed a transfer exchange that saw central defender Alan Shields return to Craighead Park while right-back Jamie McDougall switched to Gasworks Park after the deal was agreed by both the clubs.

Larkhall have sold Joe Shields to Neilston – the second time he has been snapped up by Bobby Crilly, who also signed him for Jags from Blantyre Vics.

Bellshill Athletic and central defender Paul Gaughan were both dealt a major blow when doctors told the player he must quit the game through injury.

Bellshill have transferred former Airdrie youth striker Fraser Craig to Cambuslang Rangers.

Attacking left-back Anton Franchetti, who had a loan spell with Thorniewood United, remains on the transfer list.
