EDITED - to add Gordon Durie's confirmation as East Fife manager last weekend. I've listed him from his official takeover date, though he's been in caretaker charge since 1st March. The 10 days make no difference to his place in the list anyway.

Missed this thread, but if you aren't counting caretaker spells then Kenny Shiels should be moved down the list a bit. He only took over as permanent manager on 15th June.

Fair point, though actually tendency has been to count caretaker spells where the caretaker eventually took over properly. As such then I'll actually change Durie's date.

Allan Johnston appointed Queens manager officially today, though I've listed him from Tuesday as he was in caretaker charge from then.

Greig McDonald was initially appointed as a caretaker as well, being upgraded to manager on 21st January.

A great many of them probably were to be honest. Neil Lennon was caretaker for a long period before being officially confirmed too. I was conscious McDonald had been. It's a recent decision to start noting them as caretakers with a subsequent official date. They'll all fall into line eventually but I'll amend McDonald now anyway. Cheers.

Fourth longest serving manager bites the dust today, Brian Reid departs Ayr United.

Edited to add: Mark Roberts has been appointed in his place, Ayr not hanging about!
