Former Celtic manager Tony Mowbray has returned to management after winning his battle with cancer.
The 61-year-old has taken charge of English Championship side West Bromwich Albion, who currently sit seventh in the table.
The appointment comes just a few days after Mowbray was given the all-clear from bowel cancer, which initially caused him to step down from his position as Birmingham gaffer in May last year.
Mowbray will return to the dugout for the Baggies' match against Middlesbrough on Tuesday evening.

The Englishman made 93 appearances for Celtic as a player before spending less than a year as manager in the 2009/10 season.
Now, back in the game at The Hawthorns, he will look to oversee a push for promotion to the English Premier League with a side he previously spent just under three years at before moving north of the border to take charge at Parkhead.
Upon his appointment, Mowbray confirmed his clean bill of health: "I’ve been given the all-clear from the doctors after scans earlier this week, and I’m full of energy, full of vibrancy and ready to go and do what I feel I do best," he told the official West Brom website.
“The bottom line for me is that health-wise, I’ve had a tough year. I couldn’t sit here and say it was a good experience to go through, but it’s been a life experience for me.
“There’s been low moments and sad moments with the family, but it’s been an experience that I look back at in my life and I’m incredibly grateful I’ve come through the other side.
“There’ll be no lack of energy from me, I’m ready to go. I’ve had a year of lying in a hospital bed getting driven back and forth twice a week for treatment.
“I’m full of energy again. People who know me well say that I’m back. Bring it on.”
