St Johnstone’s Scottish-Cup winning captain Dave Mackay will take his first step into management this weekend after being named Stirling Albion boss.
He will be in charge for the Forthbank side’s League Two match against Elgin City at Borough Briggs on Saturday.
Albion parted company with previous boss Stuart McLaren seven weeks ago and stand-in Martyn Corrigan bowed out after a 3-0 defeat from Forfar Athletic.
Mackay was forced to quit playing in September in the wake of two hip operations and now embarks upon a new career in coaching.
