The longest-serving manager in the SPFL ranked: where Hibs and Hearts sit after Neil Critchley’s appointment

A look at the longest serving managers in all of Scotland’s top four divisions

Scottish Premiership side Hearts have experienced a turbulent start to the season, which resulted in the departure of manager Steven Naismith just six weeks after he had agreed to sign a new contract extension at Tynecastle.

Nasimith was credited with leading Hearts to an impressive 3rd place finish in the Premiership last term, but results unravelled this season, and after an eight match losing streak across all competitions, Naismith became the second manager to leave his job in the Premiership this season after St Johnstone parted ways with Craig Levein.

Meanwhile, new Hibs boss David Gray is already facing a battle to keep his job at Easter Road. The Cabbage find themselves bottom of the table with just one win in 12 matches, leaving Gray with a huge uphill battle to turn things around in the eyes of supporters.

But how long do the reigns of both Neil Critchley and David Gray compare to the rest of the managers in the SPFL and who is the longest serving gaffer in Scotland’s top four leagues? Here’s all you need to know, courtesy of information from Pie&Bovril.
