LUGAR Boswell Thistle have confirmed the appointment of a new manager to take over at Rosebank Park.

Former Girvan gaffer, Dean Keenan, will take over the hotseat, following Stuart MacDuff's departure.

Jamie Donnelly took interim charge, with the club announcing he will provide support for Keenan for the three remaining league games this season.

Announcing Keenan and his new backroom staff, the club said: "Lugar Boswell Thistle FC is delighted to announce that Dean Keenan has been appointed the club’s new manager.

"Dean brings a wealth of experience to the club from both his playing and coaching days after being involved at Ayr United, Troon FC and most recently manager at Girvan.

"We are also pleased to announce that the following will join Dean’s coaching staff.

"Scott Taylor, Calum Nairn and Andy Rodgers, and we welcome all three of them to the club.

"We welcome all four to Lugar and wish them all the best in their new roles.

"Dean will begin work behind the scenes immediately with Jamie Donnelly and co continuing to take the squad for the remainder of the season. We thank them for their hard work during this interim period.

"Welcome to Lugar, Dean."

The club is winless since a 3-2 victory over Ardeer in February.

Keenan will take his side to Yoker this weekend, before a trip to Glasgow University the following week, and end the league campaign at home against Glenvale on May 16.
