Arbroath's players have been accused of 'downing tools on their club and manager' by Duncan Ferguson. The Inverness boss believes this lack of effort will make it harder for his team to survive relegation.
What happened?
Arbroath's recent form has been poor, with a record of 0W-3D-2L in their last five matches. Their last result was a 0-0 draw against Dunfermline on 2026-05-08.
Why it matters for Arbroath
Ferguson's comments come after Arbroath's relegation was confirmed. The team's lack of effort is a concern for their manager, Jim McIntyre.
What comes next?
Arbroath still has to face relegation rivals Morton and Queen's Park. Ferguson believes his team needs to win at least two more matches to secure safety. The current league standing is:
| Stat | Value |
|---|---|
| League standing | 3rd in Championship |
| Points | 52 |
| Recent form | DDWLL |
| Goals scored | 43 |
| Goals conceded | 41 |
| Title race | 25 points behind leaders ST Johnstone |
