Arbroath have parted ways with manager Jim McIntyre after a 3-0 home defeat to Kelty Hearts.

The Lichties announced McIntyre is to leave the club following eight months at the helm at Gayfield Park after a third straight game without a win in League One.

The club confirmed Colin Hamilton and David Gold will take interim charge following McIntyre’s departure.

A club statement read: “Arbroath FC can this evening announce the departure of Jim McIntyre as manager.

“The club would like to go on record and thank Jim for his efforts since December 4, 2023.

“After a difficult start and an unprecedented injury crisis, a squad rebuild commenced in the off-season but recent results have meant that the Arbroath FC board have made the decision to part ways with Jim.

“After discussions, the board have agreed that Colin Hamilton and David Gold will take charge of the team on an interim basis until a succession plan can be put in place.

“We would ask that our loyal fans rally around Colin, David and the players and provide their invaluable support in the coming weeks.”
