Scotland rugby great Scott Hastings has died at age 61.
He played alongside his older brother Gavin for the national team as well as the British and Irish Lions.
The Scottish Rugby Union announced the death.
In 2022 Hastings said he was diagnosed with cancer and the SRU has referred to a family statement that said he “deteriorated extremely quickly” due to complications with his treatment.
Hastings was the most-capped center in Scotland’s men’s team after making 65 appearances from 1986-97.
He was a member of its Grand Slam-winning team in the 1990 Five Nations.
He also helped the Lions beat Australia 2-1 in 1989.
