Scottish Rugby have sacked their chief executive Alex Williamson with immediate effect, the organisation confirmed, following a formal investigation into his conduct.
Multiple outlets reported that Williamson’s dismissal came as a result of findings relating to inappropriate behaviour, with Scottish Rugby moving swiftly to remove him from his post.
The circumstances surrounding the investigation have not been detailed in the available reports, though the decision to act with immediate effect indicates the governing body considered the matter sufficiently serious to warrant instant termination of his employment.
Williamson had been serving as the chief executive of Scottish Rugby, the governing body responsible for overseeing the sport in Scotland at all levels, including the national team and the professional game.
No announcement has been made in the available reports regarding an interim replacement or a timeline for appointing a new permanent chief executive. The development represents a significant moment of upheaval at the top of Scottish Rugby’s administration.
