Dunfermline Athletic manager Jim McIntyre has left the club after four years in charge.

The 39-year-old is thought to have walked out of the bottom-placed side.

The former striker was appointed as caretaker manager in December 2007 before being offered the job full-time a month later.

McIntyre guided the club to promotion to the Scottish Premier League last season as the team lifted the First Division Championship.

However, the Pars current sit bottom of the SPL table after a difficult season back in the top flight.
