St Johnstone Part Ways with Manager Steven MacLean After Dismal Results
========================================================================
St Johnstone have announced that they have “parted company” with manager Steven MacLean after their latest dismal result of the season on Saturday. The Perth club were hammered 4-0 in Paisley by St Mirren, leaving them five points adrift at the foot of the Scottish Premiership with no wins.
MacLean had replaced Callum Davidson in April and was handed a three-year deal after winning three post-split games. However, St Johnstone remain the only team across Scotland’s top two divisions who have failed to record a victory this season.
The club have scored just one goal in nearly two months, with their last victory coming in the Viaplay Cup groups against Alloa Athletic in July. After Saturday’s loss, MacLean said: “Some of them should be ashamed of their performances.”
In a statement, St Johnstone said: “St Johnstone Football Club can announce that it has parted company with Steven MacLean and Liam Craig. In the interim, Alex Cleland will assume responsibilities for First Team matters.”
