Club chairman Billy Hewitson said: "It's sad but we are in a result business and four wins in 24 isn't good enough.
"The players were giving everything for them, but we felt it was time for a change to try to push us up the table.
"We would like to thank both Allan and Sandy for their efforts."

"We all want them to be successful and I wish them well and hope that they have a strong end to the season and stay in the Championship."
