A Challenging Tenure

Charlie Mulgrew has stepped down as the manager of Kelty Hearts following a difficult season, securing only one win in 11 games. This decision marks a significant moment for the Scottish League One club, which is currently positioned seventh in the league, just four points above the relegation play-off spot.

The Exit of Mark Kerr

Alongside Mulgrew, assistant manager Mark Kerr has also departed from New Central Park. Kerr, a former midfielder with a rich history in Scottish football, leaves the club by mutual agreement. His departure adds another layer of transition for Kelty Hearts as they navigate this period of change.

A Season of Transition

Kelty Hearts began the season under the management of Michael Tidser, who left for Dunfermline Athletic in January. Mulgrew's appointment was seen as a strategic move to stabilize the team, but the results have not met expectations. The club has expressed its gratitude for the efforts of both Mulgrew and Kerr, acknowledging their hard work despite the short tenure.

Future Prospects

Mulgrew, who previously coached Hamilton Academical under-18s, brings a wealth of experience from his playing days, having made over 500 appearances and won seven honours with Celtic. Kerr, with over 600 appearances across eight Scottish clubs and a stint in Greece, also brings a depth of experience. The club wishes both individuals the best in their future endeavors.
