Former Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew has resigned from his position as manager of Scottish League One side Kelty Hearts, the club confirmed on Tuesday night.
Mark Kerr, his assistant, has also departed the Fife outfit by mutual agreement.
Mulgrew, who enjoyed two spells at Celtic Park winning five league titles, stepped into management with Kelty Hearts on January 17 in what was his first senior managerial role since hanging up his boots.
But he leaves Kelty sitting seventh, a precarious four points above the relegation play-off position.
Mulgrew was unable to guide the club out of a slump and recorded just one win from his 11 matches in charge.
The statement confirming the news stated: "Kelty Hearts FC can confirm that manager, Charlie Mulgrew, has today tendered his resignation from the post, which has been accepted by the club board. We can also confirm that assistant manager, Mark Kerr, will leave the club by mutual agreement."
Despite Mulgrew's brief tenure at New Central Park, the Kelty Hearts board expressed gratitude for his contributions.
"Although only with the club for a short period, the board would like to place on record their recognition and thanks for the hard work Charlie and Mark have done on the club's behalf during their tenure. Everyone at New Central Park would like to wish Charlie and Mark the very best of fortune for their future ventures," they continued.
