Return To Club Management
His subsequent managerial career included spells at Motherwell (1979–1981), Airdrie (1984–1985) and a return to Ayr (1986–1989) when he again won the Second Division title. His last job in football was with Dumfries club Queen of the South. In 1992 he played in a game for Queens' reserve team, scoring a goal from a penalty at the age of 61.
Increasingly again treated with affection by the Scottish footballing public, in July 2003, at Hampden Park, he was presented with a crystal decanter in appreciation of his services to the national team and to Scottish football.
He died in 2004, aged 72, after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
