Kilmarnock say “change is required” after sacking manager Stuart Kettlewell following a 10-match winless run, including eight defeats, and the side sitting second bottom of the Scottish Premiership.
Assistant Stevie Frail also departs Rugby Park and former Partick Thistle manager Kris Doolan has been placed in interim charge.
Former Motherwell and Ross County boss Kettlewell, 41, replaced Hearts-bound Derek McInnes during the close season and enjoyed a positive start to the 2025-26 campaign.

Kilmarnock led at Pittodrie on Sunday but two late goals secured the three points for Aberdeen and left Kettlewell with a record of six wins, eight draws and nine defeats.
The club thanked “Stuart and Stephen for their efforts during their time” at Rugby Park.
And the club’s board said in a statement: “This has been a difficult decision taken after careful consideration.
“We believe there is plenty of quality in the squad and had hoped that results would turn around. Unfortunately change is now required to best serve the interests of Kilmarnock FC.
