Ian Gordon Becomes Hibs Chairman Amid Board Restructuring

Hibernian Football Club has announced Ian Gordon as its new chairman, effective June 1, 2025, succeeding Malcolm McPherson, who will remain on the board as a non-executive director. Ian Gordon, who served as an executive director following the passing of his father Ronald J Gordon, has worked closely with Black Knight President Tim Bezbatchenko and the club's senior leadership. Bezbatchenko will assume Bill Foley's seat as executive director, continuing Black Knight Football's representation on the board alongside Ryan Caswell. Colin Gordon will take over Kit Gordon's seat as a non-executive director, while Kit continues her involvement with the Hibernian Community Foundation Board. Several board members, including Robert Begbie, Scott Fraser, and Archie Paton, have stepped down but Fraser will maintain a close working relationship with the club. The changes reflect a strategic partnership between Hibernian FC and Black Knight Football, with Gordon and Bezbatchenko serving as liaisons to further their collaboration.
