Lodged by Donald Cameron Standard Motion 29 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the appointment of Shadab Iftikhar as the new manager of Fort William FC; understands that Shadab began his footballing career with Wigan and Everton under manager Roberto Martinez, writing scout reports on opposition clubs before becoming reserve manager and subsequently manager of non-league English club Hesketh Bank AFC; recognises that, after completing his UEFA A licence, Shadab moved to Mongolia to manage New Mongol Bayangol as well as being assistant manager of the Mongolian national team before a stint managing Samoan top flight side, Vailima Kiwi FC; further recognises that he re-joined Roberto Martinez as part of his coaching staff at Euro 2020; acknowledges that Shadab is the first manager of South Asian heritage in senior Scottish football; hopes that this will provide inspiration for other young BAME people to get involved in sport, and wishes Shadab and Fort William FC success on the pitch.
