MILLWALL have released eight players after narrowly missing out on the Championship playoffs.
The Londoners finished eighth in the table, just two points off sixth-place
Club legend 11 days before Christmas.
Alex Neil took the reins with in 11th place.
And he has gone on to win 13 of his 26 games at the helm.
But the Scot is now looking to shake up his squad in the summer market.
It means no less than eight players have been shown the door following the end of the season.
And among those departing are two icons who have become synonymous with The Den.
Captain Shaun Hutchinson, 34, is the biggest name to depart on a free transfer.
He joined Millwall from in 2016 and went on to make 256 appearances.
Joining Hutchinson out of the club is fellow defender Murray Wallace, who is also out of contract.
The 32-year-old moved to south London from Scunthorpe in 2018 and clocked up 207 games in the process.
Two more stars are leaving Millwall when their deals expire at the end of the month.
Forward Duncan Watmore, 31, joined Millwall 18 months ago from Middlesbrough and scored 12 goals in 59 outings.
Meanwhile, 25-year-old striker Aaron Connolly also departs just five months after a move from Sunderland which saw him net once in 14 games.
And four loan stars will also return to their parent clubs, with 22-year-old forward Josh Coburn heading back to Middlesbrough after four goals in 12 outings.
Midfielder Ryan Wintle, 27, is returning to Cardiff City after 16 games.
Defender Zak Sturge, 20, will rejoin Chelsea following five appearances.
And full-back Calum Scanlon has gone back to Liverpool after four matches.
