Ian Murray set for Dundee manager talks as Raith Rovers contact made with betting suspended

Dundee are set to speak to Raith Rovers boss Ian Murray about becoming their next manager ahead of their return to the Scottish Premiership.

Murray guided Raith to a seventh-placed finish in the Championship in his first season in charge at Stark’s Park, amassing a 14-match unbeaten run and also reaching the Challenge Cup final as well as the Scottish Cup quarter-finals, following a four-year spell with Airdrie in League One.

Dundee are searching for a new manager after parting company with Gary Bowyer just days after the former Blackpool boss clinched promotion back to the top flight with a 5-3 victory over Queen’s Park in a Championship title decider on the final day of the season.
