Raith Rovers confirm John McGlynn exit ahead of expected Falkirk appointment

RAITH ROVERS have confirmed that John McGlynn has departed the club ahead of his move to Falkirk.

The 60-year-old is expected to take over at the Bairns after narrowly missing out on the Premiership play-offs with Raith.

A club statement read: "The Board of Raith Rovers FC can today confirm that Manager John McGlynn and Assistant Manager Paul Smith will depart the club by mutual consent as their Rovers contracts expire later this month.

"We offer of thanks to John and Paul for their service to the club, and salute their achievements since returning to Stark’s Park in September 2018.

"The Board can also confirm that we will be actively looking to appoint a new management team to take the club forward, and will be starting the recruitment process with immediate effect."

Falkirk chiefs are looking to replace Martin Rennie, who stepped down last month.
