Statement

Glasgow Hawks note the two not proven and one guilty verdict from the Sheriff and Jury at Glasgow Sheriff Court today in the trial of three professional rugby players, Ryan Grant, Rory Hughes and Ryan Wilson.

The club sees this as a conclusion to the matter and wish to draw a line under the matter which will allow all involved to get on with their involvement in rugby.

The club will continue to focus on the sport which we are committed to promoting.

The club will continue to support Ally in any way it can.

The club hope that a lesson has been learned from these events about the standard of behaviour which should be expected from rugby players.

We also hope that the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) take stock of the events which occurred on the night and in the weeks and months subsequent to the assault. The primary duty of the SRU is to the sport in Scotland, its ethos and values, which during this period has not been entirely clear.

There will be no further comment from Glasgow Hawks on the matter.

All enquiries should be directed to Alex Gordon, Press Officer, on 07785346488
