Raith Rovers have announced the appointment of Ian Murray as the club’s new manager on a two-year contract.
Murray will take up the post with immediate effect following the expiry of his contract at League One side Airdrieonians, where he has coached for the last four years.
Steven MacDonald, Raith chairman, said: “I am delighted to welcome Ian Murray to Raith Rovers as first team manager.
"Ian is a creative hardworking ambitious manager, with an ability and foresight to make changes at the appropriate time, coupled with his determination to win, I feel we have made a great appointment and look forward to Ian bringing success to Raith Rovers."
Murray has overseen second-place finishes in League One with Airdrie in the last two seasons, with this term’s promotion bid halted at the final hurdle when the Diamonds lost to Queen’s Park in the Championship play-off final.
Prior to joining Airdrie, the former Hibernian and Rangers player had spells in charge of Dumbarton and St Mirren.
A statement on the Rovers website said it hoped Murray’s appointment represented “the turn of the first page in a new chapter in the club’s history after proving himself as the outstanding candidate in an extremely strong pool of interviewees for the role.”
