BREAKING: Boss Kevin Harper makes shock departure from Albion Rovers

Albion Rovers boss Kevin Harper left the club after being unable to agree a new deal at Cliftonhill

Harper had revealed to Lanarkshire Live Sport that he faced an uncertain future after finishing ninth in League Two and with the ongoing Scottish football shut down.

It has now been confirmed by the club that they will be beginning a search for a new manager.

Harper had steered the club to a miraculous escape from the relegation play-off last term, but couldn't mount a challenge for the upper reaches of the bottom tier this term.

A club statement read: "It is with regret that Kevin has left the club following the expiry of his contract.

"The board of directors saw a great deal of potential in Kevin and were keen for him to extend his stay with us but we were unable to agree mutually acceptable terms.

"The board would like to place on record our sincere thanks for Kevin’s hard-work, dedication and commitment to the club, particularly ensuring the retention of our league status.

"Kevin leaves the club with our best wishes as he continues his career away from Cliftonhill.

"The board will now start working to find a suitable replacement for Kevin and will be making no further comment at this time."
