Former Celtic favourite Aiden McGeady has been released by Ayr United.
The winger, who spent a decade with the Hoops before leaving for Spartak Moscow in 2010, is now a free agent but could soon retire given his age, one presumes.
McGeady, 38, was with the Honest Men for just over a year.
He joined the Somerset Park side on a free transfer from Hibernian last summer, but after making just 19 appearances for the club in which he scored twice, the wide-man has departed.
Although he was under the stewardship of his old Celtic teammate Scott Brown at Ayr, McGeady agreed to mutually terminate his contract on the west coast:
Ayr United Football Club can confirm that Aiden McGeady has left the Club by mutual agreement.
The Club would like to thank Aiden for his contribution since joining in July 2023 and wish him the best for his future.#WeAreUnited pic.twitter.com/P0H4B9aOhr

It comes after Celtic legend Brown turned down the opportunity to leave Ayr for St. Johnstone last week.
The 39-year-old was offered the job at McDiarmid Park but, after talks, turned it down in favour of staying with his current team.
Simo Valakari eventually took over in Perth after Celtic demolished them by six goals to nil at the weekend.
After a dismal defeat to Borussia Dortmund last night, the Scottish Premiership champions return to domestic action on Sunday.
The Bhoys will make the long trip to Dingwall, aiming to get back on track and head into the upcoming international break in a positive manner.
