Congratulations to Borderer, Gregor Townsend

Lodged by John Lamont Standard Motion 29 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Borderer, Gregor Townsend, on being announced as the next Scottish Rugby coach after Vern Cotter’s departure in 2017; notes that the former Scotland fly-half, who started off with Gala RFC, had an extremely successful career as a player, winning 82 caps for Scotland and two Lions' caps, and that this has continued as the head coach at Glasgow Warriors, where he has led his club to the Guinness PRO12 play-offs every season; believes that Gregor will be a fantastic appointment to the international side and that the team should have every chance of success as it builds towards the 2019 World Cup in Japan; congratulates Vern on his successful time in charge of Scottish Rugby, particularly in the 2015 World Cup, and wishes him, and Gregor, well.
