MORTON have announced Dougie Imrie has been appointed as their new manager.
Imrie joins the Championship outfit from his role as head of academy professional programmes and first team coach at Livingston.
The former Ton player will now get straight to work as he looks to prepare for a Boxing Day clash at Cappielow against Queen of the South.
Morton director, Graham Barr, said, “It is great to be able to welcome Dougie Imrie to the club as our new first team manager.
“Following applications closing last week, a shortlist was produced by the board and candidates invited to interviews.
"Dougie was the standout candidate during the recruitment process, and his vision, ambition and enthusiasm for the club was clear to see.
“What was also clear to us in the interview process is that Dougie is both committed and determined to bring success to Morton, both in the short and long term.
“Dougie’s work is already well underway this morning, as he looks to prepare for his first game in charge on Boxing Day against Queen of the South.”
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
