### Taking gcd with respect to one variable

I want to compute $$gcd_{X}((X-y)^2 -a , X^{q-1}-1)$$ with respect to X(taking y as a field constant).

I can't see any direct implementation of this in sage.Can any one suggest how to implement it.

Here Arithmetic is over $GF(p)$ and y is root of cyclotomic polynomial of degree r over $GF(p)$ and $q = p^r$
