Club captain Willo Flood and Bilel Mohsni have left Dundee United after the club failed to win promotion to the Premiership.

Mark Durnan, Cammy Ballantyne, Jordie Briels, Paul Quinn, Grant Gillespie and Emil Lyng have also left Tannadice.

The players' contracts all expired at the end of a season which concluded with a play-off semi-final defeat to Livingston.

Flood's second spell at the club ended when he was sent off near the end of a 3-2 first-leg defeat.

Mohsni's departure comes after he was named in the provisional Tunisia squad for the World Cup.

United also announced that loanees Thomas Mikkelsen, Harry Lewis, Anthony Ralston, Craig Slater and Brandon Mason would all return to their parent clubs.

Manager Csaba László said:"I would like to thank each of these players for their efforts in the United shirt. I wish them all the best for the future.

"We are well along the road in the process to improve the squad for next season and fans should expect updates on this soon."
