Armadale Thistle have announced that Colin Strickland will replace his retiring father Derek as manager of the Volunteer Park side at the end of the season.
The former Linlithgow Rose striker will be taking his first steps into management with the Dale, where he will be assisted by Colin Leiper - his former team-mate at both the Rose and Thistle.
The elder Strickland announced earlier this month that he would be bringing a close to his remarkable career at the end of the current season.
