A former Scotland international footballer has taken on a new role at a north club.
Elgin City has announced that local woman Nicky Grant, who was capped 99 times by Scotland, will be the club’s new operations and commercial manager.
The 48-year-old played for Arsenal, Celtic, Hibs, Miami Gliders and FFC Frankfurt.
Nicky was brought up in Elgin and currently lives in Moray. She joins City after roles with Highland Council, where she worked for three years.
She was appointed head of education in the summer of 2021 and left this summer after nearly two months on “approved leave”.
