Gary Naysmith: Edinburgh City boss sacked after year in charge

Gary Naysmith leaves Edinburgh City fourth in League 2

Gary Naysmith has been sacked by Edinburgh City after a year in charge despite having the club on course for the Scottish League 2 play-offs.

City are four games unbeaten in fourth - three points clear of Stenhousemuir - having won 12 of 29 matches.

Former Scotland defender and Queen of the South boss Naysmith was appointed on a three-year deal last March.

City, who finished runners-up in the last two seasons, thanked Naysmith for his "commitment to the club".
