Kilmarnock sack Kettlewell after 10-game winless run

Kilmarnock have sacked manager Stuart Kettlewell after less than seven months in charge.

The former Motherwell and Ross County boss took over at Rugby Park on a two-year deal in May, replacing Derek McInnes who had left for Hearts.

However, Sunday's 2-1 defeat at Aberdeen extended Kilmarnock's winless run to 10 matches - leaving the club 11th in the Scottish Premiership, just three points clear of bottom-side Livingston, who have a game in hand.
