FORMER Hibernian, Falkirk and Rangers star Russell Latapy has been appointed assistant-manager at Australian club Macarthur FC.
The 53-year-old has been reunited Down Under with friend and compatriot Dwight Yorke, who was last month named as the A-League outfit’s new manager.
Latapy moved into coaching after hanging up his boots and, as well as a spell as boss of his native Trinidad and Tobago, has been a number two at Falkirk, Inverness Caley Thistle and Boavista.
The 53-year-old, who also had a short spell with Dundee United during his 11 years as a player in Scotland, was most recently manager of Barbados but resigned to pursue his move to Australia.
Sydney-based Macarthur finished seventh in the A-League last season.
A statement said: “The club would like to welcome Russell to the Bulls as we look forward to seeing him work alongside newly-appointed coach Dwight Yorke.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
