Former Motherwell star takes the reins at West of Scotland Premier League club

Former Gartcairn boss Willie Kinniburgh has taken the reins at West of Scotland Conference C champions Petershill.

The Springburn club will be in next season's Premier League.

Kinniburgh, who left the Airdrie club two weeks ago, claiming they had 'moved the goalposts' was last night replaced by Michael Dunlop.

A social media post issued by Petershill read: "Petershill Football Club are delighted to announce the appointment of Willie Kinniburgh as our new manager.

"The former Motherwell, Ayr United, Partick Thistle and Clyde player most recently guided Gartcairn to a third place finish in Conference B as manager.

"We bid Willie a very warm welcome to Petershill Park and we now look forward to preparing for next season.

"We would also like to take this opportunity to thank all those other applicants who took the time to apply for the job, especially those who came along for an interview."

Petershill's management team of Martin Lauchlan, Carlo Girasoli, Paul Roberts, Allan Hamilton and Peter Keegan decided to move on at the end of their season.
