Raith Rovers announce sacking of manager Barry Robson
Raith Rovers today announced the sacking of manager Barry Robson after 11 months in charge.
The 47-year-old former Aberdeen manager – who replaced Neill Collins in the Rovers hotseat in December 2024 – leaves with Raith struggling in sixth position in the William Hill Championship table with 18 points from 14 matches after Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Queen’s Park.
Robson led Raith to fifth place last term after an impressive unbeaten run, missing the play-offs by just two points, but their form has plummeted recently with four defeats in their last six league games.
They have the worst recent form of any team in the Scottish Championship, having accumulated just four points from their last six games.
Robson’s overall Raith record reads 16 wins, eight draws and 14 losses in 38 games.
Raith posted online: “Raith Rovers Football Club can today announce that Barry Robson has been relieved of his duties as manager.
"In addition, assistant manager Andy Kirk will leave his position with immediate effect.
"Our thanks go to both for their time and effort during their time with us.”
