The club would like to pass it's sincere condolences to Alasdair's family and friends and would like to pass on a message from Alasdair's brother, Brian:

"Ali's funeral will be held at 2pm on Monday 18th December at South Lanarkshire Crematorium, and the wake afterwards will be at East Kilbride Rugby Club.

If you think you might make it along, please let me know so we can plan accordingly for numbers.

Ali rarely dressed formally, so you're under no obligation to do so.

If you can't make it, don't worry ... You can commemorate him in any way you're willing / able to do, and it'll be appreciated.

With that in mind folks, please feel free to share a story in the comments (or privately) about my big daft brother. The more outrageous the better.

Go on!

Thank you"
