Gary Isaac (born 15 February 1966 in Dufftown, Scotland) is a former Scotland and international rugby union player. He played for Glasgow Warriors at the Loosehead Prop position. His rugby career spanned the amateur and professional era. He is President of Gala.
He began playing for amateur club Moray.[1]
He played for amateur club Gala[2][3] and Kilmarnock Falcons.[4]
He also represented the amateur provincial district side South.[5]
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;[6] and the second against Sale Sharks on 16 August 1997.[7]
Isaac has a Scotland A Cap,[8] but he is one of around 30 players who would be retrospectively also awarded a full senior cap if the SRU decides that Scotland duty on international tour should be worthy enough.[9] Scotland's non cap international games include: Argentina (3), Canada, Fiji (2), Japan (4), Portugal, Spain (4), Tonga (2), USA, Western Samoa, Zimbabwe (5).[10]
The SRU made the decision on 15 August 2023. Isaac's cap against Fiji in Suva on 29 May 2023 would be counted as a full international. Hence Isaac was awarded a full senior Scotland cap. He is Scotland cap no. 1193.[11]
Isaac was a Director of Rugby at Gala.[12] He then held the position of Vice President, before becoming President of the club.[13]
