The Scottish FA have confirmed that Compliance officer Clare Whyte has left her role.

The governing body revealed the news that Ms Whyte will take up a position elsewhere from January.

She will remain in the role until then in order to maintain a smooth transition for the next person who takes on the job.

Ian Maxwell, Scottish FA Chief Executive, said: “I would like to thank Clare for her commitment to the role over the past two years with the Scottish FA.

“In what is a high-pressure position in a relentless environment, she has shown professionalism and resilience.

“We will begin the process of recruiting a replacement in early course.”
