Scots rugby legend Doddie Weir has died after a six-year-battle with Motor Neurone Disease. The 52-year-old's death was confirmed by his family this evening.
Scottish Rugby released a statement on social media announcing the tragic news just weeks after the sporting legend made an emotional return to Murrayfield.
Former Scotland international Doddie, who won 61 caps, was was greeted by a standing ovation from the crowds as his family helped him out onto the pitch holding a rugby ball ahead of the match against New Zealand All Blacks on Sunday November 13.
