Saltires star Majid Haq is the new captain of Clydesdale.

The 29 year-old all-rounder was appointed at a players� meeting last night and replaces Zeeshan Bashir.

Haq will take the reins as the Glasgow side bid to improve on last season�s second place finish in the CS Western Premier division.

Club spokesman Colin Mitchell said: �We�re delighted Majid has agreed to take on the responsibility.

�He will bring a level of professionalism, commitment and organisation that will give the whole club a lift.

�There�s no doubt that we have under-achieved in recent seasons but hopefully Majid can help change that.�

Haq, capped 160 times, joined Clydesdale from Ferguslie four years ago.
