2008 / 09 is Hugh's first season with Galston United as manager, although he sent much of last year as part of the coaching staff. Hugh brings with him a wealth of experience as manager of Ayr United youth team and several junior clubs, and he replaces Bexy as he moves upstairs.

Murray is a seasoned goalkeeper, having spent many seasons in the professional ranks before finding himself at local rivals Knockentiber. He finally signed for his hometown club in 2007 and is now moving into his first managerial role as an assistant to Hugh.

Big Tim is another ex-player on the coaching staff. He was a towering centre half who also enjoyed a spell in the junior ranks. As coach of the club, Tim's training can be tough but is mostly enjoyable. He's not quite as mobile as he used to be on the pitch but he has lost none of his dirty tactics in his later years. He is usually the first to be heard at the games and enjoys nothing more than some verbal abuse directed at the opposition and sometimes the United players?!?

Red is approaching the end of his playing career and is trying to pass on his wisdom to the younger players at the club. He is still learning his trade on the coaching side of the game, but is learning well from the others in the Management Team. As a particularly lazy player, his training style is to make the boys work harder than he ever would. A punishment for all the times he was made to run when he didn't want to!!
