East Fife have appointed former Dunfermline Athletic boss Stevie Crawford as their manager.

Crawford, who guided Dunfermline to the Scottish Premiership play-offs last season, resigned at East End Park in the summer, ending his two-year tenure.

The former Scotland striker returns to the League 1 side after departing as player-manager in 2010, with the club currently bottom of the third tier.

"It has all happened very quickly," Crawford says.

"It was the first job that I found myself attracted to since leaving Dunfermline in May. I am delighted to be given the opportunity to manage East Fife again."
