MAX Christie has stepped down as manager of Tranent Football Club.

The former Bonnyrigg Rose boss only returned to the club for a second spell in the hot seat in the summer.

However, with only six league games played, he has opted to step aside.

Ian Little, who previously managed Berwick Rangers and also had a caretaker spell as Tranent boss, will take the helm.

Tranent travel to University of Stirling on Sunday.

 

 

A statement on social media from Tranent Football Club reads: “Max Christie has today stepped down as manager of Tranent FC.

“Max has stated his desire to remain involved with the club and we have therefore invited him to join the committee.

“Ian Little will take over as first team manager with immediate effect.

“We wish them both well in their respective appointments.”
