Ross "The Boss" Montgomery has been appointed as Scotland's Darts Team captain for 2012. The 49-year-old Scot was the overwhelming favourite to lead the team, and the chairman of the Scottish Darts Organisation, said that the decision had been "unanimous".

After the announcement Montgomery said: "This is obviously one of the proudest moments I can think of. I’m not just honoured but it's a huge responsibility as well. It's a responsibility that will hopefully result in Scotland winning the Six Nations on 24 - 26th of February at Fleetwood. We will be looking forward to the British International championship which will be held in Wales 13 - 15th April which is always a passionate affair. Then we have the Europe Cup which will be held in Turkey In October , so lots to look forward to and with the wealth of talent we have in Scottish Darts we could field two or three teams of equal strength. We have a lot of new talent coming through and I feel very proud to be captain at this time."

Ross has played for Scotland consecutively for the last 7 years and has played 21 times recording no less than 16 victories.
