Rugby career

He began playing for amateur club Moray Rugby Club.[1]

He played for amateur club Gala[2][3] and Kilmarnock Falcons.[4]

He also represented the amateur provincial district side South.[5]

Isaac has a Scotland A Cap,[6] but he is one of around 30 players who could be retrospectively also awarded a full senior cap if the SRU decides that Scotland duty on international tour should be worthy enough.[7] Scotland's non cap international games include: Argentina (3), Canada, Fiji (2), Japan (4), Portugal, Spain (4), Tonga (2), USA, Western Samoa, Zimbabwe (5).[8]

He was included in the professional provincial Glasgow side of 1997-98 season. He played in two pre-season friendlies: the first against London Scottish on 10 August 1997;[9] and the second against Sale Sharks on 16 August 1997.[10]

Isaac was a Director of Rugby at Gala.[11] He then held the position of Vice President, before becoming President of the club.[12]
