Ayr Utd have sacked manager Scott Brown and his assistant Steven Whittaker after a dismal run of results in the Scottish Championship. The Honest Men are currently sitting in 8th place in the table, five points adrift of the play-off spot. Brown, a Celtic legend, had been in charge of Ayr Utd since his appointment last season, where he led the team to a third-place finish. However, this season has been a different story, with the team struggling to find consistency. The final straw came on Friday night, when Ayr Utd were thrashed 3-0 by Raith Rovers. The club's supporters had been growing increasingly frustrated with the management team, and it seems the board has finally taken action. Scott Brown leaves Ayr Utd with the team in a precarious position, just seven points above the relegation play-off spot. The club has announced that Jamie Murphy, Tommy Tait, and Dave Timmins will take charge of training, with a further announcement on an interim manager to follow. Ayr Utd will be looking to bounce back from this setback, but for now, the focus is on finding a new manager to turn the team's fortunes around. The search for a new manager begins, with the club looking to appoint someone who can lead the team back to the top flight of Scottish football. Ayr Utd's next match will be a crucial one, as they look to get back to winning ways and climb the table. The club's fans will be hoping for a swift turnaround, but for now, they will have to wait and see who will be the next man in charge.
