Management at the Scottish Gymnastics Association (SGA) have been facing pressure over allegations of mismanagement and after a meeting with member clubs on Wednesday, Robert Callahan and Marion Sands handed in their notice.

Eight members of staff have been placed on redundancy notice after a decision by sportscotland to withdraw funding for the SGA following a report that criticised the organisation's disciplinary procedures and child-protection policy amid claims of bullying and chaotic leadership.
