Kevin Thomson has left Kelty Hearts.
The League One side have confirmed their manager’s departure after news broke that the former Rangers and Scotland midfielder wanted to find a new job in full-time football.
Thomson was in the running for the Raith Rovers post and has also been linked with a return to one of his old clubs, Dundee.
He is quitting with the Fife side at its highest ever point in the SPFL pyramid, having blown away the field in clinching the League Two title at the first attempt and knocking holders St Johnstone out of the Scottish Cup.
