The Archbishop of Glasgow, Philip Tartaglia, has been put in charge of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of St Andrews and Edinburgh.

The move comes after the resignation of Cardinal Keith O’Brien from the post.

He stepped down on Monday amid allegations he behaved “inappropriately” to three serving priests and a former priest.

The church said Archbishop Tartaglia would lead the east coast diocese until a permanent appointment was made.

He has been appointed apostolic administrator of the archdiocese with immediate effect.
