From the club Twitter account:
Jordan Stewart, Callum Home, Jason Krones, Gary Phillips and Nicki Paterson will be leaving at the end of their contracts this month.
Everyone at the club would like to thank those moving on this summer, and wish them all the best

Well the new gaffer will have a blank canvas for next season, that's for sure

Such a shame that Gary Phillips did not get a chance to take a final bow in front of Rovers supporters.
There was the cup tie winning goal against Motherwell. And he played his part in the Great Escape.
If anyone comes across PC Phillips, be nice, even if he is lifting you.

Best of luck guys! Always been a Phillips fan and would have liked to see him stick around but it's not up to me.
Anyway, reading between the lines then Reid must think the others are worth consideration: Goodfellow, Potts, Wharton, See, Byrne, Fagan, Wilson, Clarke, East, Graham, Roberts, Scally, Lynas, Morena, Smith. Have I missed anyone? Breadner and McAllister will be back to St Mirren.

As Brian says Gary is now policeman...maybe pro football isn`t compatible with his shift work.

Was really great to see Gary Phillips come back and get a second act as a Rovers player as said above a shame he didn't get to go out with a crowd.
Stewart looked like a decent player but couldn't stay fit unfortunately similar stories with the other guys, Patterson actually seemed like a good Organiser from the stands I'm sure he will be a coach someday.
AS for the others - I think its totally up to how Reid wants to play it , i think its probably good for him to come in with nobody signed up so he has full control over his budget. - gun to my head i'd keep Scaly, East ,Clarke and Byrne. A couple of others i wouldn't mind as squad options.

Good start by the manager. How Krones stayed a whole season is utterly beyond me.
As Tommy Cooper would say - he can’t run, pass the ball, head it, tackle or control it......but a hell of a nice guy to talk to.

Morena was one I swithered on wouldn't mind seeing him disrupting the midfield again.
Goodfellow - he did come good but I would feel there might be better options out there.

It is important to keep a nucleus of the squad and to add accordingly. When you look at the unfortunate start under John Brogan with a complete new squad it did not work out. I am sure lessons learned !
