Neill Collins Named New Manager of Raith Rovers

Neill Collins has been appointed the new manager of Raith Rovers on a three-year contract, replacing Ian Murray, who was dismissed after a poor start to the season. Collins, 41, previously managed Tampa Bay Rowdies and Barnsley, achieving notable success in the USL Championship. His appointment comes after a month-long search for a permanent manager, during which the club initially pursued other candidates. Collins expressed his excitement about the role and his commitment to returning the club to the top flight of Scottish football. Raith Rovers currently sit 10 points behind league leaders Ayr United after winning only one of their first four matches. CEO Andrew Barrowman emphasized that Collins was the club's top choice throughout the recruitment process.
