52-year-old Warburton was recently released by Brentford despite having steered them from League One to the Championship and the play-offs for promotion to the Premier League, following a polite but fundamental disagreement with owner Matthew Benham over his footballing philosophy and the owner's future plans for the club. Assistant Manager Weir went with him and is to play a similar role at the Scottish Championship side, where we was once team captain.
"Whoever comes in must appreciate the size of the task in terms of the history of the club and where they have to be," said Warburton prior to the announcement.
"This is about making significant progress in a designated period of time."
The appointment is set to be made official by close of play today.
