Ex-PRO12 winning skipper Al Kellock is back at Glasgow
By PA
Former Scotland and Glasgow captain Al Kellock is set for a Scotstoun return next month after being confirmed as Warriors’ new managing director. Current Scotstoun chief Nathan Bombrys is moving to a new Murrayfield post that will see him lead the Scottish Rugby Union’s search for new commercial partners overseas.
It means Kellock – who skippered the club to their PRO12 title in 2015 – will now be tasked with spearheading the club’s drive for future glories along with head coach Danny Wilson.
Kellock hung up his boots after a 13-year career following that Glasgow triumph against Munster in Belfast and subsequently moved into a commercial role with the SRU. He said: “Glasgow Warriors has been a significant part of my life so far and I am incredibly honoured to have been asked to return as managing director.
“We have an incredibly passionate group of supporters, active and strong partners and an on and an off-field team who all want to drive the club forward and I am excited about adding to that journey.
“It has been a challenging year for everyone, the role Glasgow Warriors will play as we return to normality will be very important. When we are able, I very much look forward to welcoming our fans back to Scotstoun to cheer the team on and also to when our players and staff can get back out engaging within the community.”

Ben Smith. My Man! So glad this is only "opinion piece". I was Reading the headline and straight away assumed you meant a 2 horse race between Pieter and Cheslin. There was no way you you meant Caelan.
Cheslin is not only the most exciting winger of this generation, but also a multi disciplined performer, Defence, Lineouts, Conversions and scrumming. LOL. He can do it all. He can put players twice his size on there rear ends and side step at full pace around on coming traffic on a penny.
I will also note that there has been since 2009 till 2017 only NZ winners bar the great one Thierry Dusautoir for France in 2011. And this was because they were the best team in the world winning back to back world cups, also having the best players at that time nominated. Never before has there been more than 2 players from the same country nominated for the award, but this year there was 3 from SA. All Dbl World Cup winning Players.
No one has been so put out about who was nominated in earlier awards, but for some reason you are.
I am thankful that its not up to you to decide on the "token" choices. (Rather lets not use that language again). The world chose the players and lets leave it there.
I don't Blame Rugby Pass for allowing this to print, but there should have been some profound editing on this.
Thanks for your opinion, But maybe lets keep it that just yours not anyone else's.
