SFA president Rod Petrie is back in his role after recovering from surgery.
Petrie was forced to stand down temporarily following a brief illness amid the coronavirus pandemic. He was replaced by Alloa Athletic chairman Mike Mulraney.
The former Hibs chairman and chief executive resumes his presidency having attended last week’s Joint Response Group meetings.
In a statement, Petrie said: “I would like to thank everybody who made contact, directly or indirectly, to pass on their good wishes for my recovery.
“The reality is while I have not felt ill, I did undergo a significant planned procedure.
“It has been five weeks since then, I am feeling fine and it’s now time for me to return.
“Special thanks should go to my vice-president, Mike Mulraney, who stepped in to cover for my absence including chairing the Scottish FA annual general meeting. Thanks also to my colleagues on the board for ensuring continuity in my absence.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
