| The former Hearts, Inverness CT, Ross County, Livingston and Derry City boss is being strongly linked with the post and is believed to be ahead of Lee Makel in the queue.
Meanwhile, former Arbroath and Cowdenbeath manager Baikie, who has also been in charge of Tayport and Bo’ness in the junior ranks, is being strongly tipped to take over at Linlithgow.
Baikie’s departure from Bayview comes after former chairman Willie Gray, who moved from chairman to vice-chairman last week, announced he was resigning from the board.
Former Scotland international forward Stevie Crawford is now in temporary charge of East Fife first-team affairs. |
