"His leadership was not about holding an empty chairman's title or seeking recognition; it was about people – about keeping faith in our values, protecting the very existence of our club, and ultimately his love and respect for those who contribute to the game for the right reasons.
"Jock’s dedication came at great personal cost. The demands and pressures of this challenging and turbulent period have had a profound impact on his health, and while his decision to step away saddens us deeply, we fully support it and hope he now takes the time to rest, recover, and focus on his wellbeing.
"The entire club owes Jock an enormous debt of gratitude. His honesty, personal integrity and commitment to operational transparency have ensured that a clear benchmark has been created for the club to continually strive for.
"We extend our heartfelt thanks to Jock and his family for their contribution, care, and sacrifice. He leaves with our deepest admiration and our enduring friendship.
"Thank you, Jock. You will always be part of a crucial point in this club’s story."
