McIndoe in April announced he was leaving Gretna to manage in the higher divisions of Scottish football, and now his next opportunity has been revealed.

He is taking charge of Edinburgh City, who play in the third tier of football in Scotland.

“I am excited for the challenge ahead and this opportunity," he said to the official club website.

"I am under no illusion of the hard work required to get the club up the table but when I was given the privilege of being asked to join the club, it was a very simple decision for me to say yes.”
