Courier Sport revealed on Sunday that the Blue Brazil had identified Ross as their preferred candidate to replace Gary Bollan. Bollan left the club following a chastening Scottish Cup exit against Civil Service Strollers. The Fifers are also bottom of League 2 and winless in 11. Under interim manager David McGurn, Cowden lost at Annan on Saturday. And they have wasted little time in securing Bollan’s successor. Departed: Bollan “Maurice is a highly regarded young coach and will bring a new approach to the club,” said Cowdenbeath chairman Donald Findlay. “He is determined to be successful as a coach and is very ambitious. I am convinced that this is the new start we need.” Ross’ coaching career has included stints with Egersunds IK in Norway, Faroese sides TB/FC Suouroy/Royn and Vikingur, and Motherwell. He left his last role with English side Notts County in May after a “flippant” and “insensitive” comment to winger Enzios Boldewijn. As a player, Ross won six major honours with the Gers before turning out for clubs in England, Norway, Turkey and China. He won 13 caps for Scotland.
