The
35-year-old returns to Borough Park having left last summer to take up as
assistant coach position at Scottish League One side Falkirk.
He
succeeds Chris Willcock, who departed last week after the club failed to earn
promotion.
Grainger
told the club’s website: “It’s great to be back with the people at the club.
“Hopefully,
we can build together on the success of the past two seasons on and off the pitch.”
The
former Carlisle United captain, who played in the Scottish Premier League for
Dundee United, St Johnstone and Hearts, was previously in charge from 2019 to
2021.
His
departure last summer came as a surprise, as he had only signed a new two-and-a-half-year
deal in February 2021.
Grainger’s
time at Falkirk came to an end in December after he had been briefly put in
caretaker charge following the sacking of Paul Sheerin. |
