Lawson is born and bred in Glenrothes and has extensive experience within amateur football across Fife for many years, as a player he spent a short spell with Newburgh.

Hudson said: “Scott Lawson and I have managed to spend some time recently watching the Newburgh squad in games and training and very much look forward with positivity to the project of steady progress and bringing some much deserved success on the football pitch to the town of Newburgh.”

A Burgh spokesman said: “Newburgh committee would like to record their heartfelt thanks to Alan Fortune for keeping the team ticking over whilst we recruited a new management team.”
