Ray McKinnon has this evening advised the club of his intention to leave his position as manager, with immediate effect.

Commenting on the news, Chief Executive Eric Drysdale commented, “Everyone at the club is naturally very disappointed that Ray has reached this decision, and we certainly did everything in our power, and then more, to try to retain his services but he leaves Raith Rovers with thanks and best wishes for the future.

Ray has built a terrific squad of players with tremendous team spirit, and that will be his legacy.”

The search for a new manager has already begun.
