Former Terrors become interim coaches at Falkirk

-

LEE Miller and David McCracken have been appointed as the new interim coaching team at Falkirk.

The ex-Dundee United duo will take charge of all first-team matters while the Ladbrokes League One club searches for a new manager following the departure of Ray McKinnon.

Miller, who made more than 150 appearance­s for the club across two spells, left Livingston to take up the role while former club captain McCracken departed his post as Peterhead coach.

Miller said: “I am delighted to be back home. The opportunit­y was one I couldn’t refuse given how much the club means to me.

“I have always had a brilliant relationsh­ip with the Falkirk fans and I am itching to get into the dugout on Friday night in the William Hill Scottish Cup tie against Linlithgow Rose.

“David and I know the club extremely well, we know what is expected and we are determined to get a smile back on the faces of the Falkirk fans once again.

“We need to get results and we will do everything we can to deliver.”

McCracken said: “I’ve had some incredible memories here as a player and I am proud to be asked to coach the team with Lee.

“We all know the potential here and where this club should be, it’s up to us now to get results to help realise that.

“Coming back feels right, it’s a real buzz to be out on the pitch and around the stadium again.

“We have the chance to get off to a great start on Friday night and we will do everything we can to ensure the team are fully prepared for the match.”

Former Falkirk boss Alex Totten will assist Miller and McCracken in an advisory role.
