Barry Hepburn has sealed his next move after being on loan at Queen's Park for the first half of the season, joining Austrian side DSV Leoben.

The Scotland under-19 international joined the Spiders during the summer transfer window but the move did not work out and was ended by mutual consent earlier this month.

Hepburn made 21 appearances for the Scottish Championship side, scoring three goals before returning to Germany.

The winger signed for Bayern Munich from Celtic in August 2020 and still has 18 months left on his deal.

And they have quickly sent him back out on loan again this time to DSV Leoben in the second division of Austrian football.

Leoben manager Rene Poms expressed his delighted at the signing. He said: "We welcome Barry and this is an exciting move for us.

"He has a lot of attacking talent and we hope it will benefit both us and the player."

Meanwhile, John Hartson has blasted what he reckons is a 'stupid' claim about Neil Lennon's son, Gallagher, ahead of his potential debut for Dumbarton against Rangers.

The League Two side take on Philippe Clement's men in the Scottish Cup fourth round tomorrow evening. The game will be showcased live on Viaplay Sports from The Rock.

Yesterday, it was announced that Gallagher Lennon has joined The Sons on loan from parent club St Mirren until the end of the season.

Understandably, this instantly led to people jumping to the conclusion the 18-year-old could play against the Ibrox side in his first game.

Of course, Lennon came in for abuse from the Rangers faithful during his time as a player and manager in the east end of Glasgow.

Sky Sports reporter Mark Benstead wrote on X:  “Signing Lenny’s lad ahead of facing Rangers is WWE-level stuff.”

And it was Neil Lennon's old teammate Hartson who took issue with this view.

He replied to the broadcaster on the social media site letting it be known that it was 'unfair' pressure to place on the young defender.

Hartson replied to Benstead: “That’s a stupid way to look at it, Mark. Gallagher Lennon needs to make his own path in the game.

"He has a famous dad yes but talk about putting the kid under pressure before he’s even kicked a ball. Very unfair.”

The TV man came back: “It was a joke, John. Nothing I say puts him under any more or less pressure. The lad is making his own way in the game and making a decent fist of it so far.”
