Alan McRae has to signal by next February if he intends seeking a fresh two-year spell at the helm of the governing body.

 

ROD PETRIE could be installed as new SFA president as early as next summer.

 

Alan McRae — who succeeded Campbell Ogilvie in June 2015 — has revealed he has to signal by next February if he intends seeking a fresh two-year spell at the helm of the governing body.

 

And he last night refused to rule out walking away.

 

Vice-president and Hibs chairman Petrie is next in line for a post which has been a poisoned chalice for so many since Scotland last qualified for a major finals in 1998.

 

McRae told SunSport: “My current term is due to end next June. It is now a minimum two-year period with the possibility of a further two years, IF I decide to go for it.

 

“I’ve got until the end of February to nominate if I’m going to stand and, come March 31, if anyone wants to challenge me — those who are eligible to challenge — then they can.

 

“So I’ll decide by February if I want to stay on or go.”
