## Caption

Everyone at Edinburgh Rugby is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former club captain, Ally Donaldson.

Ally made his debut for Edinburgh in 1992, becoming cap #911, and was part of the club’s first professional squad in 1996 before being named captain the following year.

A giant of the game in the capital, Ally went on to become a stalwart of coaching at Currie and Director of Rugby at George Watson’s College, playing a key role in developing so many of the players who went on to wear the castle on their chest.

Our thoughts are with Ally’s family, friends and loved ones at this difficult time. 💙
