MOTHERWELL have announced that manager Mark McGhee has been sacked.
The Scotland assistant's fate was sealed by a 5-1 home defeat to Dundee on Saturday after a run of only two wins in 14 games that has seen them slide to 10th place in the Ladbrokes Premiership, three points off the bottom.
First team coach Stephen Robinson will take charge of the side until a permanent manager has been recruited.
The Steelmen's next game is against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park on Saturday.
A club statement read: "The decision, taken by the Board following consultation with the ‘Well Society, comes after a disappointing run of results, culminating in Saturday’s loss at home to Dundee.
"Stephen Robinson, flanked by assistant James McFadden and Under 20s boss Stephen Craigan, has agreed to take temporary charge whilst a new permanent manager is recruited as swiftly as possible.
"The club wishes to thank Mark for his work during his second spell at Fir Park, particularly getting the club into the top-six during the 2015/16 season and wish him every success in the future."
