Colin Slater (1st left) watching his then Lanark United side in the 2019-20 season  Slater, taking temporary charge following Jamie McKenzies shock resignation, previously managed Lanark from February 2018 to October 2020 before quitting due to ongoing safety fears about attending games during the coronavirus crisis. Reid told the Carluke and Lanark Gazette: Colin Slater has stepped in to steady the ship. He took the training on Monday night and its an interim appointment. Were 12 days away from the league starting, weve had to cancel two of our five friendlies due to a lack of numbers; I need someone to take the training. "So I phoned Colin and asked if he wanted to help us out to take the training. "Colin told me he was happy to come in as he would never see me stuck. "We will work hard and see how it goes. "There needs to be elbow room on both sides here, because Colin could come in and think: Wait a minute, youve waited too late to change things, we havent got enough of a squad to compete and I cant bring in the players I want. "But who wouldnt approach a former successful manager (Slater) whos currently available to help out?
