Biography

2005-2006 Gardner Spiers

Gardner Spiers, who had been in charge of Count`s successful County Under 19 side. County briefly challenged at the top of Division 1 under Spiers however to many draws put paid to their ambition of playing in the SPL, and ultimately was the main reason George Adams decided Spiers would not get the job on a permanent basis. Saint Mirren always seemed just out of reach for County and the club just not consolidate itself in 2nd place.

He would have been a popular appointment as many felt he was taking the club forward and he himself claimed at one stage he was about to be offered the job. In the spring it was agreed to put on hold discussions about his role due to the clubs financial situation. He led the County to a 14 game unbeaten run, however with the last six being draws it was clearly was not enough to get the job permanently. His final game was a goalless draw with Dundee. Spiers, understandably, did not accept the chance to return to his previous youth job with County.
