Corporate supremo leaves SRU

Scottish Rugby Union director of corporate affairs Mike Keohane has left the governing body as a result of restructuring agreed at the AGM last month.

The governing body has offered a voluntary redundancy programme as part of the widespread changes in the game and Keohane insists he is leaving the SRU with no ill will.

He said: “Now that a lot of the changes have been agreed and Scottish Rugby is again in safe hands, I think that this is a good time to move on.

“My passion for Scottish Rugby is undiminished and I plan, at the very least, to be at Murrayfield supporting the Edinburgh Gunners and the Scotland team as often as I possibly can.”
