Stenhousemuir appoint Booth

Stenhousemuir have named Scotland U17 coach Scott Booth as their new manager following the departure of Martyn Corrigan last month.

The former Aberdeen and Borussia Dortmund forward will take up his post next month, with the interim coaching team of Brown Ferguson, Robert Glen, David Rowson, Ross McMillan and Scot Buist continuing in charge for the forthcoming League 1 games against Rangers, Airdrieonians and Forfar Athletic.

Warriors chairman Bill Darroch told the club website: “We received a number of high-quality applications for the job and the Board felt that Scott had the right approach and the right mix of attributes that best meets the vision and aspirations of Stenhousemuir Football Club.

“We believe that the attributes he brings as a former player, with considerable professional playing experience, coupled with his passion for youth development, will be a perfect fit for Stenhousemuir.”

Booth added: “I am delighted to have been appointed as manager of Stenhousemuir Football Club. The first-team squad has an excellent mix of youth and experience and I look forward to getting them on to the training pitch and working with them to be the best they can be as individual athletes, whilst developing a winning mentality as a team.

“Everyone in Scottish football knows that Stenhousemuir is a modern, progressive club - be it their award-winning community programme, or their new youth academy concept, Stenhousemuir is a club that often leads the way in developing the game.”
