FIONA McIntyre's appointment as SWPL managing director means the Scottish FA will again be looking for a new head of girls' and women's football. Or does it?
The post was created in 1998 and occupied by Sheila Begbie until she departed in 2014 to take up a similar post with Scottish Rugby. Begbie was a politically astute operator who lifted the status of the sport at a time when most in the Hampden hierarchy viewed it as something to be kept in its box.
