Banks o’ Dee management duo ‘have left’ Highland League club after latest loss

Banks o’ Dee have confirmed boss Jamie Watt and assistant Roy McBain have left the Breedon Highland League club.

The Spain Parkers, promoted to the division last summer, lost 3-0 at Nairn County on Saturday, a result which left Dee second from bottom on six points.

With the Aberdeen club hammered with a 24-point deduction in October due to a player registration, they are one point ahead of struggling Strathspey Thistle.
