Malpas previously had a spell at the Highland club as an assistant to Terry Butcher between
FORMER Dundee United and Scotland defender Maurice Malpas has joined the Inverness Caledonian Thistle coaching staff until the end of the season.
The Caley Jags are currently embroiled in a relegation fight, sitting five points adrift at the foot of the Ladbrokes Premiership table with five matches remaining.
Malpas previously had a spell at the Highland club as an assistant to Terry Butcher between 2009 and 2013, before leaving to follow the Englishman to Hibernian.
"I am delighted to welcome Maurice back to the club and to my staff," said Caley boss Richie Foran.
"He is a great coach with huge experience of Scottish football and his knowledge and extra set of eyes will be invaluable for the challenges ahead."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
