Dalbeattie Star appoint David Taylor as new manager ahead of South of Scotland League season
He had been in interim charge following the departure of Eddie Warwick in April. David Taylor has been announced as Dalbeattie Star's new manager. He had been in interim charge following the departure of Eddie Warwick in April. And he has now been handed the job on a permanent basis as the Islecroft side try to win back the South of Scotland League title. He said: I live in the Motherwell area and I've had a few options up here but this will be my third year here and you get a wee bit of affection and you're invested in it. 'The important bit was to see the boys through to the end of last season. Some boys were keen to stay on, some weren't. 'Once I was offered it and given that opportunity to think about it, it was something that was quite appealing. 'The travel doesn't mean a whole lot to me – if you're involved in football you need to travel anyway. 'It's important to appreciate what Eddie did – whatever happened between him and the club happened, it's one of those things that happens in football and everybody has to draw a line with it.' Taylor – whose son David scored the winning goal when Star retained the Cree Lodge Cup at the end of last season – had been part of Warwick's coaching staff at Islecroft. He has also had a number of managerial and coaching jobs in the Lanarkshire area – including working with academy players at Premiership side Motherwell Now Taylor, whose coaching team will include Mikey Devlin, Alex Clarke and Farrel O'Sullivan, is focusing on getting the team ready for the new South of Scotland League season. He said: 'We're probably still two or three signings away. We've a decent amount of boys signed up but you're always looking. 'If something comes along, then as long as it fits into your playing style and how you want to go about it you'd be daft not to explore that opportunity. 'We're delighted with who has stayed and we've added and we're looking to add the finishing touches. 'We've another couple of weeks before the season officially starts and lot of teams are scrambling for the same sort of players – we're getting there and hopefully we'll not be too far away.'

15 Scotland stars linked with transfer moves this summer - including £25m-rated ace and in-demand midfielder
Last summer's transfer window was one of the most hectic in history as far as Scotland was concerned. Big-money moves to Napoli for Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour may have taken the headlines on deadline day 2024, but there was no less than 16 Scotland internationals that changed clubs last year, as the transfer window went into overdrive. After the success of McTominay and Co, perhaps it is no surprise that 12 months on several Scottish stars continue to be in demand across Europe. Up to 15 internationals are currently linked with a summer transfer - and many of them courting megabucks money in the process. Here are the 15 Scotland internationals who could move clubs this summer, according to the latest round of summer rumours: 1 . Grant Hanley - Free agent The Dumfries-born defender left Norwich City to join Birmingham City in January after a number of years as captain at Carrow Road, but found game-time limited at St. Andrews and was released this summer. Linked with Blackpool, the Scotland international could bolster the Seagulls' defensive options for the 2025/26 campaign under manager Steve Bruce. | Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Ryan Porteous - Watford Completely fallen out of favour at Watford, and spent the second-half of last season on loan at Preston North End, who opted not to make the move permanent. Linked to Rangers, Hibs, Hull City and clubs in the MLS, Porteous is expected to move this summer. | CameraSport - Stephen White Photo: CameraSport - Stephen White Photo Sales 3 . John McGinn - Aston Villa The Aston Villa captain is reportedly a key target for Everton boss David Moyes, despite the Midlands' clubs reluctance to sell him. Feels like an unlikely move, but never say never in the world of football. | Getty Images Photo Sales 4 . Max Johnston - Sturm Graz The Scotland youngster is a man in demand this summer, following two championship-winning seasons in the Austrian Bundesliga. Sturm Graz's asking price is said to be around the €3million mark, leading to rumoured interest from Southampton, Rangers, Napoli, Sunderland and clubs in Germany and France. | AFP via Getty Images Photo Sales
