Glasgow Warriors have confirmed that Kenny Baillie is to take over as their new chief executive.

Baillie will join the Warriors from Glasgow Hawks, where he has held the same position for the last 18 months.

Baillie captained Glasgow Hawks and represented Scotland at under-21 level during his playing days.

"I firmly believe that with a strong support behind them, the Warriors can regularly challenge for and win silverware," said Baillie.

"Glasgow Warriors is the only professional sports team in the city of Glasgow to be playing competitively across the UK, Ireland and continental Europe - which, to me, demonstrates the organisation's potential.

"Working in partnership with all the rugby clubs in the west of Scotland and beyond is essential if the Warriors are to realise their full potential, and I am looking forward to further developing and creating new relationships with as many clubs as possible."

Baillie will take over from interim chief executive Colin Thomson, who has been at the helm since Ian Riddoch quit in July.
