New chairman at the Bully Wee

Clyde have announced former star Norrie Innes will take over as chairman of the club.

A chartered engineer by profession, Innes played for The Bully Wee in the early 1980s, under the management of Craig Brown at Rutherglen’s Shawfield Stadium.

He will assume a key role in the club going forward and will formally take over with effect from May 2017 once current business projects are managerially restructured.

Norrie recently spent seven years living and working in Catalonia and has absorbed many things from his spell in North East Spain combining his professional business interests with his passion for football.

Speaking to the club’s website, he said: “Clyde FC has a very special place in our family. It is a club with great history and traditions, good people and a unique fan-base.

“The club is seeking to root itself within its natural local and footballing community, to allow it to truly develop all things good within a socially responsible sporting club.

“The impediments of uncertainty and disruption must be removed from the normal dynamic of the club.

“The board have just appointed two young aspiring coaches who, in their own very different ways, have a real desire to learn and improve, taking Clyde to a better place.”
