Uncertain club futures can act as Scottish spur, says Hadden

SCOTLAND head coach Frank Hadden believes the current uncertainty over the three professional teams in Scotland can act as an incentive for players.

On Friday, the Scottish Rugby Union confirmed one of Scotland’s three professional teams will fold unless external investment is forthcoming.

The future of at least one of Edinburgh Gunners, Glasgow Warriors and Border Reivers is in doubt after SRU chief executive Gordon McKie announced swingeing cuts to stem a £23 million (€33.5m) debt.
