However, the boozer is being undertaken by Heineken-owned Star Pubs and new licensee, Clydebank resident Brian Carnochan, who also runs The Grant Arms in Glasgow.
The refurb is aiming to turn the shuttered venue into a 'top-notch, family-friendly' local which will dish up home-cooked food and specialise in sports and entertainment.

Sharing the images on the social media platform, a spokesperson said: "The journey to remake the Glenhead Tavern is nearly complete.
"The builders should be fully off-site this week. The new furniture has arrived.
"We will begin the process of stocking everything and getting the place ready to open.
"We will keep you updated as we go through this week."
The revamp is expected to create 11 new jobs in the area.
As part of the works, the outside of the pub will be painted a classic cream colour alongside a bright dark green.
Previously, new licensee Brian Carnochan, said: 'I love seeing people having a good time.
"I remember The Glenhead Tavern when it was a thriving local. Sadly, it's lost its way in recent years.
"It's been much missed, and there's been a lot of concern for its future.
"My aim is to restore it to its glory days when it was the place to go. The designs are spot-on, and it will look fantastic when the works are completed.'

New CEO tees up Tiger to redefine PGA Tour competition
August 20 - ATLANTA -- Brian Rolapp has a new job -- and now so does Tiger Woods. Rolapp, the PGA Tour's new CEO 18 days into his tenure, announced the formation of the Future Competition Committee on Wednesday in advance of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club. Woods agreed to serve as chairman for the nine-person committee. The aim of the newly formed group, which has yet to meet, is to define a competitive model for PGA Tour events. The committee will consist of five other players -- Patrick Cantlay, Adam Scott, Camilo Villegas, Maverick McNealy and Keith Mitchell -- and three business advisors with Joe Gorder, who serves on the Tour's policy board, and John Henry and Theo Epstein, both of the Fenway Sports Group. Rolapp comes to the PGA Tour as the CEO after a career with the NFL as commissioner Jay Monahan steps aside. "We're going to focus on the evolution of our competitive model and the corresponding media products and sponsorship elements and model of the entire sport, "Rolapp said. "The goal is not incremental change. The goal is significant change." The governing principles of the player-led committee are: Parity: to strengthen a commitment to a meritocratic structure. Scarcity: to increase fan engagement by ensuring top players compete together more often. Simplicity: to better connect the regular and postseason to magnify the season-ending Tour Championship. "The strength of the PGA Tour is strong, but there's much more we need to do, much more we need to change for the benefit of fans, players and our partners," Rolapp said. "I said when I took the job that I would take it with a clean sheet of paper, and that is still true. ... I said, we're going to honor tradition, but we will not be overly bound by it. Now we're going to start turning that blank sheet of paper into action with an idea to aggressively build on the foundation that we have." PGA Tour player Harris English is one of about 20 players Rolapp has spoken with since joining the organization. English said the two spoke for about 45 minutes. "I've been out here 14 years," English said. "I've seen a lot of changes out here, and (I gave him) kind of my thoughts on what's good, what's bad, what needs to be changed." One of the key issues facing Rolapp will be the relationship between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The two entities continue separate paths with no prospect of a resolution anytime soon. Rolapp said he has not spoken with anyone from the Public Investment Fund, the Saudi-led group that finances LIV Golf. He was pressed about a possible resolution that would enable the world's best players to compete against each other, or at be in the same tournament fields more often. "I think I'm going to focus on what I can control," Rolapp said. "I would offer to you that the best collection of golfers in the world are on the PGA Tour. I think there's a bunch of metrics that demonstrate that, from rankings to viewership to whatever you want to pick. I'm going to lean into that and strengthen that. "I will also say that to the extent we can do anything that's going to further strengthen the PGA Tour, we'll do that, and I'm interested in exploring whatever strengthens the PGA Tour." --Chris Vivlamore, Field Level Media

Tiger Woods takes up PGA role but unification in golf is as distant as ever
Tiger Woods will chair a newly created PGA Tour committee aimed at reshaping golf's competitive landscape in the United States. But comments made by Brian Rolapp, the Tour's newly appointed chief executive, showed that unification between the sport's traditional ecosystem and the Saudi Arabian-backed LIV circuit is as distant as ever. Woods, who has not competed since the 2024 Open Championship because of injury, was the headline name when Rolapp addressed the media in Atlanta on the eve of the Tour Championship. Just three weeks into office, the chief executive has formed a future competition committee that will also feature Patrick Cantlay and Adam Scott. Rolapp seems clear that the tournament landscape has to change. 'The purpose of this committee is pretty simple,' Rolapp explained. 'We're going to design the best professional golf competitive model in the world for the benefit of PGA Tour fans, players and their partners. It is aimed at a holistic relook of how we compete. That is inclusive of regular season, post-season and off-season. 'We're going to focus on the evolution of our competitive model and the corresponding media products and sponsorship elements and model of the entire sport. The goal is not incremental change. The goal is significant change.' Creation of a meaningful break between PGA Tour seasons and guarantees that the most high-profile players will play in top events seem logical starting points for Woods. Press conferences such as this once tended to focus on progress on a deal between the PGA Tour and Saudi's Public Investment Fund. A framework agreement was signed between the parties in summer 2023 with the supposed aim of uniting elite golf. Progress, though, has been slow; the PGA Tour rejected various concession requests made by the PIF in late March, in exchange for $1.5bn of investment. Key figures in this sport such as Jon Rahm, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka play under the LIV banner and are therefore key absentees from the PGA Tour. Rolapp admitted he has not held discussions with the PIF. 'My primary focus is going to be on strengthening the Tour,' he said. 'Blank sheet of paper means blank sheet of paper. Whatever does that, I'll pursue aggressively. That's how I view it.' At the Players Championship five months ago, the PGA Tour's commissioner Jay Monahan revealed 70% of fans surveyed wanted unification with LIV. Rolapp echoed that sentiment in June. Pressed on whether he agreed golf spectators want to see the best in the game compete against each other more often, Rolapp appeared to backtrack. He said: 'Yeah, golf fans want to see the best competition possible in the sport that they love in a competitive model that makes sense.' Subsequently challenged on whether or not unification should be a priority, the chief executive seemed to rail against 'a LIV question'. He added: 'I'm going to focus on what I can control. I would offer to you that the best collection of golfers in the world are on the PGA Tour. I think there's a bunch of metrics that demonstrate that, from rankings to viewership to whatever you want to pick. I'm going to lean into that and strengthen that. 'I will also say that to the extent we can do anything that's going to further strengthen the PGA Tour, we'll do that. I'm interested in exploring whatever strengthens the PGA Tour.' Sign up to The Recap The best of our sports journalism from the past seven days and a heads-up on the weekend's action after newsletter promotion As he seeks to complete a sensational season with victory at the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup, Scottie Scheffler dismissed parallels with the once imperious Woods. The world No 1 has won five times in 2025, including at two majors, to separate himself as the dominant figure in golf. 'It's very silly to be compared to Tiger Woods,' Scheffler said. 'Tiger is a guy that stands alone in the game of golf and I think he always will. Tiger inspired a whole generation of golfers. You've grown up watching that guy do what he did week in, week out, it was pretty amazing to see.' Scheffler did credit Woods with a role in his development after being in the 15-time major winner's company at the 2020 Masters. 'I've only played one round of tournament golf with Tiger Woods and it completely changed the way I look at how I play tournaments,' Scheffler said. 'I can't tell you the look on his face when we got to the 1st green. I look over, and we're in 20th place, kind of playing, yada, yada, yada, and I look over and this guy is just locked in. I was taken aback. I was like, holy smokes. Then we got to the 2nd hole, and he had this chip shot and he looked at it like it was an up-and-down to win the tournament. I'm like: 'This is incredible. I've never seen anything like this before in my life.''
