LEE MCCULLOCH has been appointed as the permanent manager of Kilmarnock, the Premiership club announced on Monday.
The former Rangers and Scotland star has been in interim charge of the Rugby Park outfit since February, leading them to an eighth place finish following the departure of Lee Clark.
The 39-year-old was delighted to accept the challenge of his first full season in management.
“I am thrilled to be taking on the role of Manager at Kilmarnock," he said.
"I have gained invaluable experience at the Club, both as Assistant Manager and Interim Manager, and believe I am ready to take on the challenges of a Premiership Manager.
"I am extremely grateful to have loyal, committed players and coaching staff, as well as the support of the Board, staff and fans”.
Killie director Billy Bowie added: “This is an excellent appointment for the Club.
"Lee has gained the respect of everyone associated with Kilmarnock FC and we are delighted to be going forward with Lee as Manager. I would urge fans to get behind Lee and the team as we enter an exciting new season”.
