Hartlepool United have appointed former Celtic, Aberdeen and Hearts midfielder Paul Hartley as their new manager, after agreeing compensation with Cove Rangers.
Hartley, who also has managerial experience at Dundee and Falkirk, is on a two-year contract at Hartlepool, with the club holding the option of a further two.
The former midfielder, who was brought up in Hamilton but also lived in East Kilbride, steered Cove to the League One title last season, losing just three games, and brings assistant Gordon Young with him from the Balmoral Stadium club.
