Read the full statement from the club below.

"Following last night’s 3-0 defeat at Broadwood, Manager Stuart Malcolm and his assistants Barry Sellars and Martyn Fotheringham contacted the Chairman to intimate that they were resigning from their posts with immediate effect.

The Directors had no option but to reluctantly accept their decisions, but are disappointed with the timing, especially taking into account the hectic schedule of games the club have ahead of them especially in the next seven days and beyond.

The Board of Directors would like to put on record their sincere thanks to Stuart, Barry and Martyn for their hard work on behalf of the Club since their appointment in 2019.

The Club hope to be able to provide supporters with a further statement/update on the situation later in the day."
