Scotland rugby legend Scott Hastings dies aged 61

May he rest in peace.

Scott was part of the last Scotland side to win a Grand Slam when they were victorious in the 1990 Five Nations, playing alongside his brother Gavin.

In 2022, Hastings revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer, receiving treatment for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which could not be cured.

A statement on Sunday from his son Corey and daughter Kerry-Anne confirmed his death.

The statement read:

"We are saddened to inform you that Scott passed away peacefully surrounded by family on the morning of Sunday 17 May,"

"This also marked his late wife Jenny's birthday which speaks louder than words that he is safe and with his beloved Jenny.

"Scott was undergoing cancer treatment and due to complications deteriorated extremely quickly. Despite every effort by the incredible team at the Western General ICU, he passed away peacefully and pain free.

"At this time, the family ask everyone to give them space to process and manage their energies and ask for their privacy to be respected.

"More information will be shared in due course to celebrate Scott's incredible life."

May he rest in peace.
