Scott Kellacher

Scott was promoted to the Head Coach role on 23rd October 2024 after Duncan Ferguson was terminated when the club went into administration. Billy Mckay became player/assistant coach at the same time.

Scott navigated the hard times of administration as manager. This included not only a regime change where Alan Savage eventually became owner of the club, a 15-point deduction due to the administration event in his first season, a difficult time signing players due to administration, and also knowledge of a 5-point penalty the following season if the club managed to come out of administration.

In season 2024/25, despite the 15-point penalty, the club finished a creditable 7th in League One on 43 points, losing only 10 games despite the turmoil. Had the points deduction not been in place, the club would have finished in second spot.

In season 2025/26, the club started on -5 points but were top by the end of September after winning 7 of 8 games to start the season. In the end, the season came down to the wire with the club securing the title on the last day of the season to top a remarkable season where they lost only 4 league games and return to the Championship.
