David Goodwillie 'hands off' warning issued by Clyde boss Danny Lennon

Clyde boss Danny Lennon has issued a 'hands off' warning to clubs over talismanic striker David Goodwillie, and told them to treat the club with respect.

Speculation has linked the former Dundee United and Blackburn Rovers star with a move away from the Bully Wee, with Raith Rovers and Falkirk said to be interested, but Lennon says that's nothing new.

The 32-year-old is Clyde's top scorer by some distance with 16 for the season so far, and Lennon is keen to keep him at the club.

He said: "There's always speculation over David in any window, and at the end of the day he's still got 18 months of his contract to go.

"He knows what we think of him, the value - there's not a price-mark on David Goodwllie for what he's done for the club.

"Likewise, I'd like to say that the club have been absolutely fantastic for David Goodwillie.

"David knows exactly where we are, and what our thoughts are on that, and until a real serious offer comes in, I can't see anything growing.

"It's got to be right for all parties, and let me say, this isn't the first window, it happens in nearly every window with David Goodwillie.

"What I will say is clubs have got to be respectful - just because we're a League One club and holding a golden asset, which most clubs would want, treat us with a bit of respect.

"David has been absolutely fantastic for Clyde, for myself personally, and that's the mark of the man.

"He's a good, strong character, and he will want the best for his family as well, but I can't stress enough the value of David Goodwillie to Clyde Football Club.

"Everybody outside of the club would have him."
