Anniesland Rugby is shocked by the tragic news of the sudden death of
Glasgow Accies Coach Gordon Mackay
Gordon had a long and distinguished career playing for Glasgow
Accies,Stirling County and he was a member of the Glasgow Hawks League
and Cup winning side of 1997-98 who also beat Toulouse.at Old
Anniesland
A Scotland under 21 cap he was a member of the first Glasgow
Professional team in 1997 later playing in France with Lyon where injury
ended his career
Last season Gordon along with Donald Reid took over the coaching reins
at Glasgow Accies mid term steering them clear of relegation.
Glasgow Accies Rugby Chairman Gordon Wilson paid tribute saying"the
leadership given by Gordon was immense and the club is determined that
the groundwork laid by Gordon and Donald will take the club forward
this coming season"
At this sad time our thoughts are with his wife Irenne his children
Sandy and Archie and his parents Andy and Margaret
A full appreciation will appear later
