KELSO have unveiled their new coaching line-up ahead of next season (whenever that kicks-off), with Darren Cunningham returning to the club for a third stint as head coach and Bruce McNeil switching from Hawick in a player-coach capacity.

Former Scotland international Kevin Utterson also returns to the club as a support coach, and Neil Hinnigan is Director of Rugby after a period working with Heriot’s.

McNeil’s brother, Keith, and Nikki Little have also made the switch from Mansfield Park to add beef and experience to the pack.

Opinion: We are all in this together!

  1. McNeil has had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus
    Will have to learn to keep his gob shut or he’ll never be on the pitch
