Brora Rangers have announced the resignation of manager Ross Tokely and his assistant Kevin Munro with immediate effect.
Chairman William Powrie said “It is with great regret that Ross has decided to leave the club, for whom he has been a great servant as both a player, and for the last 18 months as manager."
Elsewhere, after several public and comittee meetings, Fort William have decided to continue playing in the Highland League next season.
This follows some big changes at the club earlier this week, with five directors stepping down from their roles on Monday and three new directors joining the Board the following day.

(Cove win 5-2 on aggregate)
Cove Rangers take on Spartans in the Semi-Final first leg of the SPFL Pyramid Play-off at Harlaw Park.
Manager John Sheran rested several players for the league games against Wick and Nairn, and he'll be hoping to have Darryn Kelly and Ryan Strachan available again after injury.
The visitors have players with experience of winning promotion with Edinburgh City two years ago, when they beat today's opponents in the play-offs. Cove will be particularly wary of striker Ross Allum, who scored a double for City in the first leg of that semi-final at Harlaw Park.
In the Highland League, Formartine will look to finish an excellent season with victory over Wick at North Lodge Park. Three points would ensure a second-placed finish for the home side. Wick have enjoyed a superb second half of the season and a win for Academy would see them climb above Huntly and Rothes into tenth.
Strathspey end their campaign against Brora at Seafield Park, where a win for the Jags could see them finish as high as 15th. Injuries have blighted the second half of Brora's season and they will finish in sixth place regardless of the results in their last two matches.
Fort William take on Turriff at Claggan Park and both sides will be looking to finish a difficult season on a positive note.
