Craigan caretaker manager as Well talk to Sanchez

June 20, 2009

Captain Stephen Craigan will act as caretaker until an appointment is made. The Northern Ireland defender will be in charge when the players report for pre-season training on Monday. And the 32-year-old told BBC Scotland: “We hope to have a new manager by the end of the week. “But they needed someone to organise training, so I have spoken with the physio. It might all change in a couple of days if someone is appointed.”

Craigan, who has started taking his coaching qualifications, said he never considered applying for the vacancy himself.

“I am in no position to go in as manager of the football club,” he said. “I am still a player and learning the game – and I still feel I can play another two or three years.”
