Keith Gibson, a former player with Arbroath, drove back to Dundee from Broughty Athletic’s training base, near Blackpool.

It’s claimed he handed in his resignation after some of his players broke the 10pm curfew at the team hotel and went on a night out.

The side were due to meet an English team for a friendly which was cancelled after the drama.

Bosses at the club met last night at its annual general meeting to discuss what happens next, despite claims that Mr Gibson had later tried to retract his decision to quit.

Broughty Athletic are scheduled to kick off their Super League campaign this Saturday against Sauchie, but may have to do so without a permanent manager in place.

A source told the Tele that players were forced to send a text to representatives of Lytham Town on Saturday — who they’d been due to play in a friendly — to call the match off after Mr Gibson’s departure from the training camp.

It was sparked by a group of players’ refusal to stick to his rules the previous night.

A source from Lytham Town said: “We received a text prior to the match to advise that some players were unable to get down to play the fixture.

“We had only arranged the game with Broughty Athletic the Wednesday previously.”

The call-off happened at around midday, just a few hours before the tie had been due to take place.

THE manager of a Dundee junior football club walked out and quit his job 250 miles from home after his players reportedly disobeyed a curfew on a preseason training trip.
