Millen, it is understood, was handed a letter shortly after the Ton's 2-0 win over Dunfermline in their final Championship game of the season informing him of the meeting regarding his future. The 59-year-old, who played for the club between 1999 and 2001, has been their assistant manager since March 2021. He was Gus MacPherson's assistant and then became Dougie Imrie's right-hand man since his appointment as manager in December 2021. The vastly experienced Millen has formed a successful managerial partnership with Imrie. They guided Morton to two fifth place and a sixth place finish in the Championship in their three seasons in charge. However, that partnership is now set to come to an end. Meanwhile, a hectic final day in the Championship saw one club use unusual methods to silence opposing fans. The drama was all unfolding at Falkirk Stadium, where the Bairns won the title and ended their 15-year exile from the Premiership. There was an upset at Livingston too, where the title-chasers were beaten by Partick Thistle, who sealed their place in the play-offs. Moment Scottish football ultras have megaphone confiscated Airdrie were already confirmed to be finishing ninth and in the relegation play-off spot, but were saved from automatic demotion by Hamilton's 15-point deduction. And there was a small victory for Airdrie on the final day as their stewards silenced the visiting Ayr United supporters by confiscating their megaphone.
