On 3 June 2010, Montrose boss Steven Tweed decided to part company with his assistant, the former East Fife and Forfar manager Jim Moffat. The duo had teamed up at Links Park twelve months prior as Tweed looked to have an old head on board as he started his first full season as a player/manager. [2]
