Introduction

Ronnie Glasgow was a Scottish rugby union player.

He was capped ten times between 1962-65 for Scotland. He also played for Dunfermline RFC, and Gordonians RFC.

Allan Massie considers that:

"Ron Glasgow was the most under-capped Scottish forward, winning only ten caps between 1962 and 1965... Glasgow's performance at Cardiff [in 1962] alone should have ensured him of a long reign at open-side wing-forward.
"It was his misfortune to play for unfashionable clubs: Jordanhill College, Gordonians and Dunfermline. I have no doubt that had he played for Hawick or Gala or one of the big city clubs he would have represented his country more often."

Glasgow's try was the first Scottish one in Cardiff for 27 years.

Robin Lind (Harry?!) who played for Dunfermline and North and Midlands said "never, ever did I think my team would lose when Ron Glasgow played for us. And very seldom we did."

He was to represent two district sides. He played 21 times for North and Midlands and 6 times for Glasgow District.

Personal life

He was the father of Cammie Glasgow, who was also capped for Scotland.

He was PE teacher at Dollar Academy and head of the school cadet force.
