Motherwell announcing Stevie Frail as the new manager will have the same vibes about it as the SFA announcing Collum would be the new Head of Refereeing
Willie Collum has been appointed Head of Refereeing at the Scottish FA following an extensive recruitment process.
The Scottish FA and global sports recruitment experts Elevate Talent compiled a list of experienced applicants from four different continents. Willie’s experience, leadership responsibilities within the Scottish education system, understanding of the Scottish football landscape and resilience made him the outstanding candidate.
Ian Maxwell, Scottish FA Chief Executive said: “When we announced that Crawford was leaving at the end of the season the board and senior team were clear that we would leave no stone unturned in getting the best candidate for a job that has become significantly more demanding with the arrival of VAR.
“We had applications from experienced candidates across the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Australia. It is to Willie’s great credit that he emerged as the outstanding candidate from such a strong international field.
