Raith Rovers sack Robson after poor run
- Published
Raith Rovers have sacked manager Barry Robson after four defeats from their past six Scottish Championship games.
Assistant manager Andy Kirk has also been relieved of his duties as the Kirkcaldy club sit in sixth place with 18 points from 14 games.
Former Aberdeen boss Robson, 47, moved to Stark's Park at the tail end of 2024, and departs 11 months into a two-and-a-half year contract.
Rovers are 13 points behind league leaders St Johnstone, but just one behind Fife rivals Dunfermline Athletic in fourth spot.
Experienced defender Paul Hanlon will step in as interim player-manager for the next match at home to bottom-of-the-table Airdrieonians on Saturday.
Hanlon will be assisted by technical director John Potter and first team coach Mark McKenna.
