Scottish club The Spartans say manager Dougie (Douglas) Samuel has left the League Two side following an investigation into allegations of misconduct. Multiple reports state the departure comes after Samuel’s 14-year tenure with the club.

The outlets describe the process in similar terms, noting that an investigation takes place during the month and that Samuel departs afterward. The wording differs slightly: one outlet refers to “misconduct” being investigated, while another says the club’s action follows “allegations of misconduct.” Neither report provides detailed findings, specific accusations, or the outcome of the investigation.

Overall, the coverage focuses on the timing and length of Samuel’s service and the fact that the club ends the working relationship after an inquiry. The reports do not identify whether Samuel resigns or is dismissed, nor do they describe any disciplinary action beyond the separation.
