SPFL group chief executive Neil Doncaster has issued the following statement following the death of Rod Petrie.
Neil Doncaster said: “Everyone at the SPFL is deeply saddened by the news surrounding Rod’s passing.
“Rod was a hugely respected figure right across the Scottish game and combined sharp intellect with a strong sense of principle, something I greatly admired.
“He was a key member of our board in the SPL era from 2003-2011 and helped drive important change for the league across that time.
“His true passion outside of his family and friends was Hibernian FC and he provided incredible service to the club in his 28 years there.
“We also worked extremely closely with Rod in his time on Scottish Football’s Joint Response Group during Covid, and he was a vital figure in helping steer our game through that challenging period.
“He will be very sadly missed, and our thoughts are with Rod’s loved ones at this time.”
