Club Statement: Jim Duffy

The club can confirm that, following discussion with Jim Duffy, it has been mutually agreed that he will leave his post as Director of Football with immediate effect. We would like to thank him for his efforts during his second tenure at the club.

Gordon Thomson commented:-

“The Board recognises and accepts some of the constraints faced by Jim, particularly with a continuing spate of injuries to key players.

“He was appointed to the role with a long term objective in mind, but everyone in football recognises how quickly circumstances may force a change of direction even though the ultimate goal remains the same.

“Jim departs with my personal thanks for taking up the challenge, and I wish him well for the future.”

This announcement does not affect Brian McLean’s position as Head Coach, and he will take charge of the squad for tomorrow’s match against Peterhead.
