Former Scotland rugby union captain Andy Nicol enjoyed a playing career of great distinction for more than a decade. He led Bath to the ultimate club prize of Heineken Cup glory in 1998 and two years later captained Scotland to their first Calcutta Cup victory over England for 10 years.

First capped in 1992, he played 23 times at scrum half for Scotland as well as being called up for the British Lions tours in 1993 and 2001.

He started his career at Dundee High School before moving to Bath and then Glasgow in 1999, retiring in 2003. Andy first worked with BBC Sport in 1998, and was contracted to the rugby line-up in 2005.
