Scottish Rugby have posted another hefty loss of £11.3million in their latest annual accounts.
It marks the second year in succession that the business has suffered significant losses, compounding the £10.5m deficit posted 12 months ago.
Due to a change in the accounting period, this year’s figures – for the year ending June 30, 2024 – have been taken over a 13-month period, with the SRU claiming that the 12-month figures indicate a loss of £8m.
The accounts take in various issues around redundancies and the restructuring of the business, with the SRU announcing a new financial reset programme earlier this year.
Former chief executive Mark Dodson pocketed £887,000 despite only working for around eight months of the year, essentially being put on gardening leave prior to his departure in the summer.
The money paid to Dodson was up on the £676,000 he received the previous year and was reflective of his salary and severance package.
