Clubs onside for Rainbow Laces week

“After that we have a Champions League game and then a cup final. They are big games and we know we will need to pick it up and be at it again.

“We got the new record for unbeaten games in style at St Johnstone last time out. The manager hasn’t really spoken about the record, he just wants to look at each game and to build on it. He takes it one game at a time and that won’t change because it is that approach that has brought us the success we have had so far.” Former Livingston, Airdrie and Forfar manager Gary Bollan has won the race to be the new manager of Cowdenbeath and is expected to be unveiled before the squad assemble for training tonight, writes Craig P Stewart.

The job at Central Park wasindemandwithformer manager Colin Cameron and ex-dumbarton and St Mirren manager Ian Murray amongst the candidates. However, 44-yearold Bollan has been selected to try and transform the fortunes of the Fifers.

Bollan has been out of work for just under two months after losing his job at Station Park some four months after leading Forfar to promotion via the play-offs.

Discussions between Cowdenbeath club chairman Donald Findlay and Bollan intensified after Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat by Elgin City left Cowdenbeath rooted to the foot of League 2 and in severe danger of having to win the pyramid play-off to keep their place in senior football for the second season running.
