Sunderland complete scouting overhaul with Archibald appointment

Ian Archibald has joined Sunderland to complete their scouting overhaul.

The Sunday Sun says the former West Allotment Celtic goalkeeper has been given the title of 'scouting co-ordinator', while new chief scout Bryan 'Pop' Robson heads up the search for new Sunderland stars.

With the addition of Steve Staunton to the recruitment team, there have been radical changes since Ricky Sbragia departed the club at the end of last season.

Geordie Archibald will return to the area after working at Birmingham City under former Blues chief scout Paul Montgomery.
