Graeme Glen is Groundsman of the Year
 
Stirling Albion's winning groundsman, Graeme Glen was interviewd on Sky Sports News

Stirling Albion have come out on top in a survey to identify Scotland's best football pitch.

 

The League Two side were triumphant after a study of the playing surfaces at all 42 of the Scottish football league sides with their groundsman, Graeme Glen, named as Groundsman of the Year.

 

Hamilton Academical FC's artificial pitch at New Douglas Park was cited as the worst in the country.

 

Players were asked to rate the pitch after every away game on a specially commissioned app called PitchRater APP.

 

Sky Sports reports that the study was a joint venture between PFA Scotland, the Scottish FA and Sports Lab, a company specialising in sports surface development and testing.

 

Peterhead came second in the study and Queen's Park were third, meaning lower league clubs held all of the top three places.

 

Motherwell were rated as having the best pitch in the Premiership.

 

Sky says parties involved in the study will now sit down with the clubs to discuss recommendations to improve the standard of playing surfaces in Scotland
