St Mirren duo Gallagher Lennon and Luke Kenny have agreed new contracts to remain in Paisley.
It's understood the pair have signed one-year contract extensions ahead of the upcoming season.
Lennon - son of former Celtic player and manager Neil - first signed on at St Mirren last year after leaving Partick Thistle.
The Northern Ireland under-19 internationalist spent the second half of the season on loan at Dumbarton - where he helped win promotion into League One through the play-offs.
Lennon, 18, had featured on the bench for St Mirren before his loan exit and has been involved with the first-team in training.
The centre-back - also capable of playing at left-back - was in Spain with St Mirren in pre-season and played against Dunfermline in the first friendly back in Scotland.
Lennon is yet to make a competitive senior appearance for St Mirren.
Academy graduate Kenny, 20, featured in the second half against Morton - and also played at East End Park on Saturday.

The central defender has played twice for the first-team, both appearances coming in the Viaplay Cip group stage last season.
He spent last season on loan at Cliftonville where he lifted the Irish Cup after coming off the bench in the final.
In total, he played 15 times for Cliftonville before returning to join the senior squad in Paisley.
Stephen Robinson namechecked Kenny in his post-match interview after the win over Morton on Tuesday - hinting at a possible chance at first-team football this term.
"We certainly need another centre-half," said the manager when asked about transfer business. "Shaun Rooney has played there for half a season in League One, we know Elvis [Bwomono] can play there - he's played there for his country.
"We've got options. Young Luke Kenny tonight showed he can progress and his loan to Cliftonville has matured him and hopefully he can kick on."
AND ANOTHER THING
Stephen Robinson is still looking to add to his St Mirren squad ahead of the Conference League second-round qualifier against Valur or Vllaznia later this month.
The Buddies boss is hopeful to add a midfielder and a centre-back before the European campaign kicks off.
Robinson has been vocal on the need to replace James Bolton after his move to Fleetwood - while the manager wants to add balance in the midfield with another recruit in the centre of the park.
AND FINALLY
Conor McMenamin has undergone successful surgery in London for his patella tendon injury.
The winger had to go under the knife after the issue resurfaced while on international duty.
Caolan Boyd-Munce is expected to feature again for St Mirren in Saturday's friendly against Fleetwood Town after coming through the derby win over Morton unscathed.
The midfielder had missed the first runout against Dunfermline due to blisters.
And Scott Tanser is set to be involved this weekend too, with hopes his enforced substitution against Morton is no major issue.
It's thought the injury was neural problem and not a muscle tear issue.
