| However the 47 year old is not leaving the League in the lurch – not taking up his post at Murrayfield until January – by when the Celtic League Association will hope to have a replacement in place.
“For the immediate future my focus remains with the Celtic League and I am hopeful that following the conclusion of on-going discussions between the three unions we will be able to confirm a very stable and credible future for the League competition. Once we can do that we will be in a very positive position to progress talks with various parties who have expressed interest in the title sponsor package,” Grainger told Celticleague.com
'I am hugely excited by the challenges offered by my new role. Scottish Rugby has ambitious plans for the growth of the sport in Scotland and I am looking forward to playing my part in delivering that dynamic future,” he added.
John Hussey, Chairman of the Celtic League Association, said: 'I would like to record my thanks to Keith for his contribution to the ongoing development of the Celtic League and Celtic Cup over the last 17 months. The tournaments are widely regarded as being competitive, credible and professionally run and I am delighted that Keith will be continuing his association with the Celtic League.'
The Celtic League Association has identified a number of exceptional candidates for Keith’s replacement and an announcement will be made in due course.
