Rod Petrie has temporarily stepped down from his role as president of the Scottish FA on health grounds. On medical advice, Petrie will take a period away from work and his deputy, vice-president Mike Mulraney, will stand in. He said: “On behalf of the Scottish FA board, our people and Scottish football as a whole, I would like to wish Rod a speedy recovery. “Rod has been a pillar of strength to the association throughout this COVID-19 pandemic and to me as Vice-President. “I would ask that everyone respects Rod’s request for privacy during his recovery period.”Former Hibernian chairman Petrie was elected president of the SFA last year.
