Scottish rugby is paying tribute to former player and head coach Derrick Grant who has passed away aged 86.
Grant was capped 14 times for Scotland between 1965 and 1968.
The Hawick-born back-row forward went on to take charge of the national side in 1985, giving debuts to Gavin Hastings, Scott Hastings, David Sole and Finlay Calder over the course of his three-year spell as head coach.

In announcing his death, Scottish Rugby described Grant as “part of the ‘ultimate rugby think-tank’, a quiet and humble man, ahead of his time in his ability to analyse a game and get the best out of his charges.”
The governing body added: “Scottish Rugby extends its sincere condolences to Derrick’s wife, Elsie, sons David and Steven, daughter-in-laws Susan and Ann and their families, plus his many friends in Scotland and beyond.”
