Stuart Kettlewell has been appointed the new manager of Kilmarnock.
The former Motherwell boss joins the club on a two-year deal after Derek McInnes left Rugby Park to join Hearts last week.
Kettlewell departed Fir Park over four months ago citing personal abuse that was affecting his family to the point they didn’t want to attend Motherwell games.
The Rugby Park club have been searching for a successor for over a week and the former Ross County boss sealed the role after around six candidates were considered.
Stephen Frail has joined Killie as assistant manager, while Chris Burke and Craig Clark complete the backroom team.
Kettlewell will now begin work to improve the Ayrshire side after a season that saw them finish in ninth place in the Premiership table.
A club statement read: “The club conducted a thorough recruitment process, where we were looking for a candidate who has a track record in recruiting and developing players, including young talent and has a strong understanding of Scottish football.
“We identified Stuart as the best candidate to lead Kilmarnock into an exciting new chapter.
“Stuart’s experiences, paired with the above, fits our vision and desires for the future of Kilmarnock.”
