Bonnyrigg football club’s achievements recognised by Midlothian Council

Bonnyrigg’s newly promoted football club has been promised support from Midlothian Council after it became the first Midlothian side to play in the national league.

The first meeting of the newly-elected councillors saw the club’s success made subject of its first motion, as all three Bonnyrigg councillors congratulated the club.

Councillors Derek Milligan, Diane Alexander and David Virgo called on the council to arrange a formal celebration for the club to mark its arrival in the Scottish Professional Football League. And they urged officials to meet with the club and local business and organisations to find ways to support it as it moves onto the bigger platform.
