As a player, Maurice pulled on the tangerine shirt of Dundee Utd more than 600 times and is also a "Hall of Fame" member having racked up 55 appearances in the dark blue of Scotland.
As a manager he was at Swindon and Motherwell and also coached the Scotland U-21s but his most succesful spells came as the other half of a management duo with Terry Butcher at Motherwell and now at Inverness.
