Little leaves Berwick Rangers

Berwick Rangers have parted company with manager Ian Little in the wake of Saturday's 4-1 home defeat by Annan Athletic.

That result leaves the Borderers third from bottom in League 2, eight points outside the promotion play-off places.

Little had been in charge at Shielfield since October 2011 but the team have struggled for form in recent months after making a good start to the season.

Chairman Brian Porteous said on Sunday: “The Board felt that they needed to act given that we are third bottom in Division Two and getting further adrift from a play-off position.

"We have not been able to get any consistency and feel that we should at least be in the top four and simply need to move forward quickly before it is too late. We will be making a further announcement very soon.”
