Scottish Rugby chief executive Alex Williamson has been sacked after an independent investigation into his conduct, multiple outlets have reported.
The Telegraph described the grounds for dismissal as personal misconduct, while Sky Sports confirmed the departure followed a formal independent investigation. RTÉ and Rugby365 also reported the news, with all sources consistent in confirming Williamson’s dismissal rather than a resignation.
Williamson had served as chief executive of Scottish Rugby Union (SRU), the governing body responsible for the sport in Scotland at all levels, including the national team and the country’s professional clubs.
No further detail on the nature of the investigation or its specific findings has been provided in the available reports. It is not yet known who will take over leadership of the organisation in the interim or on a permanent basis.
The development represents a significant moment of upheaval at the top of Scottish rugby’s administrative structure, coming during an active period for the national team.
