to establish the club in the Scottish Premier League after John Robertson had left to take the position at Hearts. Dundee United Brewster was appointed player–manager of Dundee United in January 2006. His return to United yielded little success, however, as despite going unbeaten in his first three games, the remainder of the 2005–06 season brought just one win (against Livingston). Brewster had to wait four league games into the 2006–07 season for his second league win, and oversaw only two league wins in his nine months at Tannadice. On 29 October 2006, after a 5–1 defeat to Falkirk, Brewster and assistant Malky Thomson left by "mutual agreement". After leaving Dundee United he was linked with several managerial vacancies, including those at former clubs Dunfermline, Raith and Ionikos, but he returned to playing with Aberdeen instead. Return to Inverness Brewster returned to management with Inverness in August 2007, after previous manager Charlie Christie had resigned. Inheriting a team that was bottom of the league with no points, the team went on a good run of form culminating in December 2007 with a remarkable 3–2 win over Celtic, despite having been 0–2 down and having a player sent off. Pressure began to mount on Brewster in early 2008, however, when the team went on a run of seven consecutive defeats. Brewster stuck to a tough but unpopular stance regarding player discipline and contracts. Results eventually improved with the team finishing ninth in the league. This improvement was not maintained during the 2008–09 season, however. Brewster was sacked on 19 January 2009 following a run of seven consecutive league defeats, that left the team bottom of the league. Ross County Brewster was appointed assistant manager of Ross County, working with manager Derek Adams. Ross County reached the 2010 Scottish Cup Final under their management. Brewster left the club in December 2010, soon after Willie McStay had replaced Adams as manager. Crawley Town After six months out of work, Brewster was appointed first team coach of Crawley Town by manager Steve Evans in June 2011. Brewster was appointed caretaker manager on 9 April 2012, after the departure of Evans, until the end of the season. Brewster guided the club to promotion to Football League One with three wins from their last six games. He was retained as a coach when Sean O'Driscoll was appointed manager in May 2012. Brewster was again placed in
