Speaking on behalf of the Greenock Morton board, director Graham Barr said: “Dougie was the stand-out candidate during the recruitment process, and his vision, ambition and enthusiasm for the club was clear to see.

“What was also clear to us in the interview process is that Dougie is both committed and determined to bring success to Morton, both in the short and long term.

“Dougie’s work is already well underway this morning, as he looks to prepare for his first game in charge on Boxing Day against Queen of the South.”
