Stuart Macdonald has spoken of his pride of being named captain for Scotland for the shinty/hurling international against Ireland.
The Lovat goalkeeper will lead his team out at Abbotstown, Dublin on Saturday as Scotland look to defend their title which they have won for the last four years.
Being chosen as captain, Macdonald was presented with the Donald Campbell memorial kilt pin by Michael Campbell.
Macdonald said it was a proud moment in his shinty career.
“It’s a tremendous honour to be selected in the squad of 20, and even more so to be chosen as captain.
“It will be a stern test over in Ireland, of that we are in no doubt.
“It is an extremely tough place to go but I am confident in the group of boys we have here.
“To be presented with the Donald Campbell Memorial kilt pin is an honour that will stay with me for many years.”
