Vincent has departed, he hopes to be invited to approach the Bar. Thus, a new Sellik supporting Compliance Officer is required.

 

Peter identified one, told Regan to appoint Anthony McGlennan.

 

I know there's a helluva lot going on within and outwith our club at the moment, but I suppose we should note the next Yahoo waiting in line to avail himself of the opportunity to sink the boot.

SFA appoint McGlennan as new compliance officer

Friday 8 August 2014

 

The Scottish Football Association has appointed Glasgow-based lawyer Tony McGlennan as its new compliance officer.

 

McGlennan will replace Vincent Lunny after a handover period next month.

 

He will assume responsibility for determining which players, coaches and other officials should face SFA disciplinary charges.

 

McGlennan joins from Possilpark-based law firm Penmans, with whom he has been a partner since 1998, two years after he joined.

 

An SFA statement read: "He is a solicitor advocate who has conducted criminal litigation at all levels of the court structure, including the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court.

 

"Tony has a keen interest in football, having played at amateur level for a number of years. He is currently a volunteer coach to young footballers and holds coaching certificates in the Scottish FA's youth coaching pathway."

 

Andrew McKinlay, the SFA's director of football governance and regulation, added: "As everyone knows, this is a hugely important and challenging position in Scottish football, one which comes with a great deal of pressure, and I am absolutely certain that Tony will be an asset to the organisation and the game.

 

"I would also like to thank Vincent for his excellent work during his three years with the Scottish FA."

Celtic fan in court on fight charge after slashing at Inverness cup tie

 

InvernessAN incident after the alleged slashing of a Celtic fan at the away end of Saturday’s Scottish Cup tie with Caley Thistle had its sequel at Inverness Sheriff Court today.

 

A fan, said in court to be a friend of the victim, became involved in a fight and was arrested as he went to the assistance of his fellow supporter.

 

Michael Docherty (27) of Scalpay Street, Glasgow, admitted being involved in a fight which followed the incident.

 

But he has denied prosecution evidence that he threw punches in the fracas.

 

A proof has been fixed for February 23.

 

Docherty pleaded guilty to conducting himself in a disorderly manner and engaging in the fight.

 

But his solicitor Tony McGlennan said he denied Crown allegations that he threw four punches during the fight.

 

The court heard there was a surge in the crowd after Celtic scored a goal and fans were doing a conga to celebrate.

 

During the course of that celebration one of the Celtic supporters was apparently slashed and Mr McGlennan said Docherty came forward to help his friend who was the victim.

 

"What he specifically denies is that he threw three to four punches. All he is saying is he threw a Caprisun (a soft drinks carton). His friend was slashed and he was encouraged to come to his aid."

 

The solicitor said he understands that one of the police officers at the ground had a body camera which witnessed the incident.

 

"My client is hoping it recorded the incident," Mr McGlennan added.

 

Docherty was released on bail until the next court hearing but banned from entering any SPL football ground or the national stadium at Hampden Park by Sheriff David Sutherland.
