Gus MacPherson has been sacked as Morton manager after a 2-2 draw with Ayr United.
The 53-year-old has been relieved of his duties after the stalemate with the Honest Men that leaves Ton level on points with Dunfermline and Queen of the South in the bottom three places of the Championship.
Former St Mirren boss MacPherson, 53, was appointed in March and led the club to safety in the play-off final against Airdrieonians.
But a run of five games without a win means the manager has left the Inverclyde strugglers in the lurch and MacPherson has paid the price.
A short club statement read: “The club can today announce that, following today’s game, manager, Gus MacPherson, has been relieved of his duties.
“We would like to thank Gus for his efforts and hard work during his time at the club and wish him all the best for the future. “The club will provide a further update in the coming days.”
