Allan Imrie

Allan Imrie is a well-known figure at Stirling County having started playing aged 8 under 9’s and 43 years on still refuses to hang up his boots.

Allan has played for all the boys age grades and all 6 of the men’s Senior teams  at Stirling County where he started his Senior career age 17  in the Wolfhounds progressing to the 3a’s and all the way up to the 1st XV. He has toured with Stirling to France Italy Spain Wales and England also playing in Ireland and Canada with the Crusaders.  He has coached mini and youth rugby for many years most recently with the under 16 and under 18 boys teams and had also recently assisted with the 3rds and 1st XV carrying out various duties. Allan carries on a significant family legacy from his late father Andrew Imrie who was a former player, volunteer and President. Many other family members have also represented Stirling County including a number of nieces and  nephews. His two sons Gregor and James  play and Allan can be seen trying to outperform them on the training pitch and in the club Gym.  He has been married to Katrina for 25 years this year and has a daughter Evie who hasn’t started playing…yet! Allan is a well-known figure in the Stirling business community recognised for his professional role as a Director with chartered surveying firm Allied Surveyors Scotland. 

John Henderson

Circa1972 “Hendy” aged 14, played for Wallace High School on Saturday mornings and County’s 3rd XV in the afternoon. At the tender age of 16 he played his first game for the 1st XV. (No Junior Section in those days!)

In 1976/77 County won Division 7 of the newly formed national leagues, and as they say, the rest is history! As far as we know, Hendy and another Stirling County Stalwart “Muff” Scobbie are the only two players ever to have played in all seven divisions for the one club. Hendy Captained the Club between 1997-2000 and continued to Captain the 2nd & 2A’s XV’s till his 50th Birthday Match. After this, apart from the odd Wolfhound Game or an Easton Roy Birthday Match, Hendy took to the hills & the riverbanks!

In his day job he ran a small drilling equipment supply company and is now …..A retired Drill Bit Salesman!

Alex Moffat

“Moff” has been in and around the club since joining as a student in 1999 making his debut for the 1st XV in November of that year.

Fortunate enough to play in the 1XV for around 14 years he became club captain in 2006 which lasted until 2014 when he retired from 1st team duty. Having racked up hundreds of games and having played with various superstars in the making Moff has seen many highs and challenges for the club.

His attempt to hang up the boots was a fairly weak attempt and he donned the famous 3rd XV top for a couple of seasons allowed him to find a pace of game that finally suited him !!

After finally realising playing days were long gone Moff got back into coaching his son, Luke , at P1 level and continues through to the P6 squad of today. Coaching the kids alongside former teammates is one of the areas he enjoys the most and the challenge of giving kids the best values associated with rugby and getting them as active as possible. His only disappointment is scrums and line outs are not taught in primary rugby!!!

Moff has been involved in the sales of timber products for around 24 years and has been a proud sponsor of Stirling County having only got the job in the first place through a few well kent faces around the club!!

Rachel Ferrier

My dad’s connection to Stirling County spans over 50 years. He worked his way through the ranks to play First XV Centre.

My godparents, John Henderson and Ally Munn, also played significant roles in shaping my connection to and interest in the club. These men taught me that Stirling County is about more than what happens on the pitch. It’s about teamwork, respect, commitment and making everyone who walks through its doors feel welcome.

I’ve carried these same values into my professional career at DHL, where teamwork, reliability, loyalty and supporting others are central to what I do.

My husband, Stewart, is also a lifelong Stirling County lad, progressing from the Minis through the Senior Section and First XV, today, my godson Tait is beginning his own journey in the Minis.

Being part of the Stirling County Wolfhound Trust feels like a natural next chapter – helping support the club’s future, its young players and the values passed down to me.

Wolfie

Legend has it that Wolfie’s lineage dates back to the 9th century when his forefathers were protectors of Stirling and saved the town from marauding Vikings. Several statues can be seen in and around Stirling and one of his ancestors can also be seen on the Stirling County RFC Crest. In 1978 Wolfie’s Grandfather represented the “Wolfhound XV”. This team was for the more “mature player” and they embodied all of what the game of Rugby was about …..Fun, Friendship & Fraternity!

Young Wolfie began running up and down Bridgehaughs touchlines in 2008 and is still as sprightly as ever!

Dougie Vipond

The band split in 1994, when Dougie was only 27, and he decided to change direction – pursuing a career as a television presenter.

Dougie began his career in broadcasting at Scottish Television, presenting NB, the award-winning arts listings programme. He went on to front the extreme sports series The Adventure Show for the BBC, taking part in a variety of thrilling outdoor sports and competitions.

His love of sport is reflected in the myriad of roles he took on for the BBC – he was an anchor for Reporting Scotland and BBC Scotland’s flagship football programme, Sportscene; and a presenter of a plethora of other sports including rugby, curling and athletics. He was the first Scottish presenter of rugby for Premier Sports and Viaplay and even enjoyed a short stint as co-host of ITV’s This Morning.

Kenny Logan

In 1997, Logan joined Wasps RFC in England, where he won multiple titles, including three English Premierships, the Heineken Cup, and the Anglo-Welsh Cup in 1999 and 2000. Before that, he had secured a Scottish Premiership title with Stirling County in 1995. He later returned briefly to Glasgow before retiring from professional rugby in 2005.

International Career

Logan made his international debut for Scotland at the age of 20. During his career, he represented his country in multiple Rugby World Cup tournaments and Five Nations Championship campaigns, earning more than 70 caps and scoring 20 tries. Known for his pace, tactical intelligence, and finishing ability on the wing, Logan was regarded as one of Scotland’s most effective attacking players and among the country’s most popular rugby figures of the 1990s and early 2000s.

Personal Life and Media Presence

Kenny Logan is married to Gabby Logan, the BBC and ITV sports broadcaster. Together, they have become one of the UK’s most recognisable sporting couples. They have 20-year-old twins, Reuben and Lois.

Since retiring from rugby, Logan has remained active in the media through television commentary, reality programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing, and guest appearances on sports and lifestyle shows. He is widely appreciated for his straightforward, down-to-earth personality and openness about life after professional sport.

Logan has also been involved in a number of charitable and awareness campaigns, including:

My Name’5 Doddie Foundation — supporting fundraising and awareness for motor neurone disease (MND) in honour of his former teammate Doddie Weir.

Prostate Cancer UK — following his own diagnosis and recovery, Logan has spoken publicly about prostate cancer awareness, encouraging men to attend regular health checks and helping to challenge taboos surrounding men’s health.

Finn Russell

Finn went on to play for Glasgow Warriors, helping them win the PRO12 title in 2015, before successful spells with Racing 92 in France and Bath Rugby, where he played a central part in the team that won the European Challenge Cup and English Premiership titles in 2025.

Since making his Scotland debut in 2014, Finn has become a central figure in the national team, playing in 3 World Cups and earning 95 caps to date. He has also been selected for three British & Irish Lions tours and played a leading role in the Lions’ 2025 series victory in Australia.

Known for his creativity, confidence and willingness to do things differently, Finn’s story is about much more than reaching the top of international rugby. His own pathway shows that there isn’t one route through sport or through life. The experiences, friendships, confidence and opportunities that come through rugby can be valuable whether or not a young player ever becomes a professional player.
