New Wishaw boss David Dunn admits it wasn’t an easy decision to take over from his good friend Mark Daly, but now he is determined to bring the feel-good factor back to The Beltane.Dunn took the reins just before Christmas after Daly stepped down from the role he’d held for the past two years with the side sitting ninth in Conference C of the West of Scotland League.Wishy are on a run of seven games without a win and will look to end that on Saturday when they kick-off 2022 away to third from bottom Vale of Leven.And Dunn said: “I always wanted to be a manager in time, but not in these circumstances because I’ve got a lot of time for Mark.“Mark is a very close friend and a friend for life.
