Kilmarnock say “change is required” after sacking manager Stuart Kettlewell following a 10-match winless run, including eight defeats, and the side sitting second bottom of the Scottish Premiership.
Assistant Stevie Frail also departs Rugby Park and former Partick Thistle manager Kris Doolan has been placed in interim charge.
Former Motherwell and Ross County boss Kettlewell, 41, replaced Hearts-bound Derek McInnes during the close season and enjoyed a positive start to the 2025-26 campaign.
But, after six wins in 13, Killie lost six in a row and two more after a couple of draws, leaving the side three points above Livingston, who have a game in hand.
