Glasgow Clan chairman Neil Black has announced the club will undertake front office reforms after his investigation into the signing of Lasse Uusivirta.

Malcolm Cameron has retained his position as head coach but will report to a general manager instead of a chief executive.

Gareth Chalmers, who served as chief executive before his suspension, was not named in the press release.

Glasgow’s reshuffle comes after they announced and quickly revoked the signing of the 33-year-old defender, who self-deported from the United States after he was charged with first-degree rape in 2013.

In a statement, Black wrote: “I have now concluded my internal investigation into the events which led to the suspension of both Malcolm Cameron and Gareth Chalmers on Thursday 29 September.

“As a result of my findings, the Glasgow Clan are, with immediate effect, making the following changes to the management and reporting structure of the on-ice activities of the club.

“Malcolm Cameron will return to his role as head coach, reporting to a newly appointed Clan GM whose role and appointment that replaces that of the current Clan chief executive.

“We hope to be able to confirm the Clan general manager appointment in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the head coach will now report directly to the Clan chairman until the Clan general manager appointment is confirmed.

“The club sincerely apologises to anyone upset by recent events.”

Glasgow will return to the ice on Saturday [8 October] for the visit of the Coventry Blaze.
