Former St-Mirren boss Danny Lennon has emerged as the frontrunner for the vacant manager’s post at Alloa Athletic following the departure of Barry Smith last weekend.

The Wasps chairman Mike Mulraney has much to ponder after receiving a high level of interest in the position since the resignation of Barry Smith on Saturday evening.

But the man in charge has placed assistant manager Paddy Connolly in temporary charge of first team affairs, while he plots the club's next move and insists he will not rush what is a crucial decision for the relegation-threatened club.
