Crestfallen Jack Ross has been sacked as Dundee United boss with Sunday's 9-0 shellacking at the hands of Celtic proving the final straw.
The Tayside club confirmed in a statement: "Dundee United can confirm head coach Jack Ross has been relieved of his duties with immediate effect. Liam Fox will take charge of the first team on an interim basis with the focus now fully on Wednesday’s Premier Sports Cup match with Livingston."
The former Hibs and Sunderland boss is out at Tannadice after a nightmare run, with his side's stirring first leg win over AZ Alkmaar in Europa Conference League qualifying proving an outlier amid a run of rotten results. The 7-0 trouncing away to the Eredivise side was a gut punch, but worse has followed since with Hearts and St Mirren netting seven between them over the past two weekends.
