PETERHEAD have appointed former Aberdeen, Rangers and Leeds defender David Robertson as their new manager.
The 54-year-old, whose five-year reign in charge of Indian club Real Kashmir came to an end in September, takes the reins from Jim McInally, who resigned as boss of the Balmoor club after 11 years at the helm.
“We would like to thank all the candidates who applied for this position and went through our interview process,” said a statement on Peterhead’s website.
“We were impressed with the high calibre of applicants, however Davie’s ambition and attributes stood out, making him the best man for the job.
“Aside from a wealth of experience both playing and coaching football, Davie has strong ties to the local community and is keen to foster those links as manager of Peterhead Football Club.
“After five years spent coaching in Kashmir, Davie is not afraid of a challenge and is looking forward to his new role representing PFC.”
Peterhead are currently two points adrift of Clyde at the bottom of cinch League One and have won only one of their 16 matches so far. They visit Kelty Hearts this Saturday for Robertson’s first game in charge.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
