The 51-year-old Scot replaces Jim McIntyre, who was sacked by Ross County on Monday, with the club languishing third-bottom in the standings after collecting just four points from their opening seven games.

Coyle was regarded as one of the best young British managers when he guided Burnley to the Premier League in 2009 but his career took a downturn after he moved to Bolton halfway through the subsequent season.

Bolton sacked Coyle in 2012 after they were relegated to the Championship and failed to perform in the second tier. He then went on to have short managerial stints at Houston Dynamo, Wigan Athletic and most recently, Blackburn.
