Jim McIntyre has been sacked as Cove Rangers manager after less than seven months in the job.

The Toonsers were hammered 6-1 by Inverness Caledonian Thistle on Monday, a result that leaves them eighth in the Scottish Championship, just four points ahead of the relegation play-offs.

It was only McIntyre's second loss in nine games, with Chairman Keith Moorhouse admitting it was a "tough call to make".

Moorhouse said he believes it was the correct call, ahead of a "hugely important transfer window".

He added: "We would like to take this opportunity to thank Jim for his hard work and wish him all the best for the future."
