His first managerial job was at Ayr United where he guided them to the 2001-02 League Cup final and the Scottish Cup Semi Final in the same year.. He was later sacked, however, having failed to get the club to the Scottish Premier League.

In September 2006, he was asked by the Raith Rovers board to take no active part in the running of the team, while they discuss the terms on which he may leave the club.
