Highlander Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Before Robbie Neilson repeated the feat this year, who was the last Scottish manager to lead a Scottish football team to promotion from the second-tier to the top-tier only to join a team that had just been relegated?

I'm sure Willie had the distinction of being sacked by both Hearts & Hibs while they were both top of the Championship. Due to health reasons both times and Alex Rennie did a great job with us that last season when Ormond failed to turn up a lot of the time. I remember hearing a story a game had kicked off and Ormond appeared on the bench and was asking Rennie "Who's that?" about one of our players. Sadly his health deteriorated quickly - his pub in Musselburgh was a good one though....... He was always friendly and easy to talk to with no airs and graces. He admitted openly the Famous Five could never get the better of the Terrible Trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he hadn't just promoted Motherwell? Also, the Scottish Premier League only came about in the 1998/99 season. Before that it was the Premier Division.

Your question is asking who promoted a team from the second tier to the top tier then quit that team that he just got promoted to join the team that got relegated.

Eldar Hadzimehmedovic Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 I read it as Scottish team to Scottish team but it doesn't look like it has to be. In that case, must be Jack Ross - promotion with St Mirren, moved to relegated Sunderland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirky Jambo Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I’d thought it would be David Hopkins as I thought he had gone from Livi to Morton after winning the play offs in 2018, but a quick Wikipedia check suggests he went to Bradford in between edit - also misread their question as was thinking of James Keatings syndrome rather than joining a relegated team Edited August 29, 2020 by everton_jambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
