Scott Brown Departs Ayr United After Disastrous Results
Scott Brown and his assistant, Steven Whittaker, have left Ayr United by mutual consent, the club confirmed this morning. The departures follow a prolonged slump in results and mounting pressure from supporters.
The club sits third-bottom of the Championship. Ayr United have managed only one league win since December.
Run of form and decisive defeat
Friday night’s tame surrender at Raith was cited as the final straw. Brown himself admitted the team lacked fight after that match at Stark’s Park.
Board members had resisted calls for change during the poor run. Falling attendances and injuries added to the club’s woes.
Managerial history
Brown took charge in January 2024. He initially steered the team clear of relegation and later led a title challenge last term.
That campaign petered out in the play-offs. This season failed to recapture those highs, with poor home form and persistent injuries contributing.
Club statement and interim coaching
A club statement thanked Brown and Whittaker for their dedication. It wished both well in their future careers.
- Training today will be run by Jamie Murphy, Tommy Tait and Dave Timmins.
- The club said further communication on an interim manager will follow.
Context and next steps
The Honest Men now face a managerial search during a difficult campaign. Fans will watch closely as interim staff take charge at Tryfield Place.
Scott Brown departs Ayr United amid disastrous results that have left the club in a precarious league position. Filmogaz.com will follow developments.
