Devlin steps down

Albion Rovers chairman John Devlin has stepped down from his post.

Albion Rovers chairman John Devlin has stepped down from his post.

Devlin, who had served on the board at Cliftonhill on and off over a six-year period, was at the helm when the club announced plans to redevelop the ground and Rovers also made headlines with a “Pay What You Can” season ticket for 2014/15.

He told the club website: “Away from football, my own situation is changing and I have a number of other personal and business priorities that increasingly require my attention.

“With that in mind, I have taken the difficult decision to step down as a director of the club and as chairman. This past 12 months has been something of a rollercoaster ride and the club as a whole has certainly developed both on and off the park.”

Pat Gillooly has been appointed as chairman, with Devlin adding: “There is a now a board of directors and an experienced wider management committee in place who will provide stability, continuity and see through some of the innovative ideas that have been established.”
