The Scottish Football Association has appointed former Football League director Stewart Regan as their new chief executive.
Regan joins the SFA after four years as chief executive of Yorkshire County Cricket Club.
The 46-year-old replaces Gordon Smith, who stepped down in April after almost three years in the post.
Regan, who led the re-branding of the second tier of English football, spent 16 years in the brewing industry, including a spell as strategic planning director for Bass.
A "delighted" Regan said in a statement: "From my recent posts with the Football League and Coors Brewers, I have experience of working with a number of key stakeholders in Scottish football.
Unrivalled
"Scottish football has not been immune to the difficulties of the current financial climate but the passion and commitment to the national game in this country remains unrivalled.
"It is this loyalty and dedication that will be essential to re-establishing the game.
"I am aware there is a great debate on the way forward for Scottish football and it is my intention to bring all the relevant parties closer together to achieve the obvious common goal of improving the overall standard of the No.1 sport in this country."
SFA president George Peat added: "Of all the applicants, Stewart stood out for the level of his success in business and sport but also for his diversity of experience."
who the fuck's this character? His last post was as Chief Exec of Yorkshire County Cricket Club ffs!
Cheers Cash67
Oh deary me!
I thought when Peat said it was a figure from outside football it would actually be a Scotsman, who we've heard of?
FUCK THE SFA!
Couldn't be any worse than a Scotsman, could it? Unless it was a Tim nobody's going to be happy anyway, rather an English cricket cunt than a hun to be honest.
shenanigans!!!
They could have Billy McNeil in the CE's job, and it would make not one bit of difference.
The whole SFA organisation needs fucking lined up against a wall and shot.
It corrupt 'jobs for the boys' bullshit, and this english guy is their attempt at bringing in a 'token' outsider.
The whole lot of them can suck my hairy ballsack.
