KENNY McLEAN today insisted he is in no rush to decide his St Mirren future this summer.

The midfielder is out of contract and has been linked with a series of moves, with Rangers and a host of clubs in England reported to be interested in the Scotland Under-21 star.

Another impressive campaign for McLean came to a conclusion in disappointing fashion last week as Billy Stark's side lost 6-1 to Holland at St Mirren Park.

And the 22-year-old is happy to bide his time before deciding where he will play his football next season.

McLean said: "The season has just finished for me, while a lot of the boys have been off for a couple of weeks. I had the Scotland game so I kept going and kept my focus on that game.

"I will take a few weeks off now and think about my future. I will probably go on holiday first and think about it and see what is there for me.

"I will speak with my family and see what my options are. I can't really say what will happen at the moment, I will just wait and see what happens."

While McLean has plenty to ponder on a personal level in the coming weeks, he must also look to heal the mental scars of his final outing of the campaign.

The Buddies ace was powerless to prevent the Dutch dominating last week and he admits it will be hard to forget a horror night for the Scots starlets.

McLean said: "It is never nice to suffer a defeat like that and you don't want to go into the summer on the back of a 6-1 loss.

"It is the game you remember most because it is your last one and it is one I will try to get out of my system quickly and look forward to pre-season.

"Results like that are always hard to get over, but it is something I have to learn from and take any positives from it.

"I had a couple of injuries that interrupted my season but towards the end I felt I played well so that was the pleasing thing for me. It was a difficult way to end, but overall I have to be pleased with how things have gone."

Defeat at St Mirren Park last week brought the curtain down on McLean's campaign and ended Scotland's chances of reaching the European Championship finals in the Czech Republic.

The loss came after our Under-17s were thrashed 5-0 by the Dutch in Malta and McLean admits we must learn quickly as a nation to bridge the Euro gap.

He said: "They have been playing that way for a number of years and we are trying to bring that into our game.

"They have got it down to a tee and you could see that, they were exceptional and will take a lot of beating by any team.

"It was always going to be a tough game for us, but it was a harsh lesson for the boys. It is one which we will learn from, however."
