Club rugby in Scotland will take centre stage at Murrayfield today when the Scottish Rugby Union opens up a debate at its AGM on league reconstruction, the Scotsman's David Ferguson reports.
"The SRU leaders will arrive at the national stadium this morning with 250 club delegates keen to move out of the shadows left by the dark cloud of a fortnight ago created by boardroom dissent and the departure of chief executive Gordon McKie. One new face will be present, that of Sir Moir Lockhead, the former FirstGroup chief executive, who will take over the reins from Allan Munro as the new board chairman.
"A new vice-president will also be elected, with Alan Lawson (Heriot's), Gordon Cairns (West of Scotland) and former council and board member Archie Ferguson (Lenzie) all vying for the post.
"Despite McKie's exit, it is expected that his efforts in establishing a firmer financial base for the organisation, along with finance director Eamon Hegarty, will be applauded."
