Hamilton Academical have appointed Stuart Taylor as their head coach.
The 46-year-old left Ross County earlier this week and he's been announced as Accies' new boss after Brian Rice's shock resignation last week.
Taylor is a familiar face at New Douglas Park after playing and coaching at the club between 2007 and 2010.
He has experienced management in Qatar and Ireland before embarking on a successful coaching spell in England under Paul Lambert and Wolves, Aston Villa and Stoke City.
Hamilton face Kilmarnock tomorrow in the Championship but George Cairns and Guillaume Beuzelin will be interim charge with Taylor likely to watch from the stands.
On his appointment, the Hamilton boss said: "I am delighted to be back at this great club, I have had many fantastic memories during my first time here and to now have the privilege to sit here as the club’s new Head Coach is a real honour for me.
“I am a coach who loves working with players and improving them. This club is well known throughout Britain for doing that and I feel coming here as a coach is a good fit.
“I have had some great conversations with Allan and the rest of the board. I would like to thank them for showing faith in me for this position and I look forward to working with them.”
Chairman Allan Maitland added: "“We are delighted to have a coach of Stuart’s quality as our Head Coach. He knows the club well and understands what our club is all about.
"As a coach, he comes here with a great amount of experience and we look forward to working with him.”
