Four potential contenders for Kilmarnock job after Dyer departure
Kilmarnock are searching for a new manager after Alex Dyer left the club in the wake of their 3-2 home defeat by St Johnstone. Here, we look at the potential contenders to replace the Englishman. Gary Holt
A lifelong Killie fan who still lives in the town, Holt played in the 1997 Scottish Cup-winning team and has the club's badge tattooed on his leg. He enjoyed two successful years in charge of Livingston before making way for David Martindale in November, having led them to a fifth-placed finish last term. But a stumbling block is that Holt is less than three weeks into a new role as sporting director of Falkirk. Stephen Robinson
The ex-motherwell boss has declared himself ready to work again four weeks after stepping down at Fir Park.
He led Well to two cup finals and third place in the league last season while helping the club bring in about £6 million in transfer income. Tommy Wright Another who has proved himself beyond doubt in the Premiership, Wright enjoyed unprecedented success with St Johnstone including their first major silverware and a run of top-six finishes and European qualifications. He has missed out on the Northern
Ireland and Motherwell jobs since deciding to end his seven-year spell in Perth and could be more amenable to a Killie approach.
David Hopkin
The former Scotland midfielder is available after leaving Morton amid financial constraints. Hopkin led Livingston to consecutive promotions and was making progress with a young squad at Morton before leaving in December.
