Soccer Betting Lines

01/19/2009 - Inverness, Scotland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Inverness have sacked manager Craig Brewster following a dismal run of seven consecutive league defeats.

Brewster leaves after 18 months in the hot-seat and with the Highlands club currently rock-bottom of the Scottish Premier League table.

The 42-year-old former striker was in his second spell as manager, having been employed as the club's player-boss before leaving for Dundee United in January 2006.

Inverness have also confirmed that assistant manager Malcolm Thomson has left the club and that director of football Graeme Bennett will take charge of first-team affairs on an interim basis.

"This decision was not taken lightly but we feel it is in the best interests of the club looking forward," said chairman George Fraser.

"We thank Craig and Malcolm for their endeavors and extend our best wishes to both for their future.

"The process of identifying a new management team is underway with the target of an early appointment geared to ensuring that the club retains its SPL status for the 2009-10 season."
