The former hooker also won the Scottish First Division Championship in 1988[/caption]

In his club career Callander played as a hooker for Kelso and helped them to the Scottish First Division Championship in 1988.

In the same year he captained Scotland to a 24-11 win over France at Murrayfield.

He was just as successful playing sevens, twice reaching the Hong Kong sevens final for Co-optimists and the Scottish Border Club, beating the All Blacks along the way on one occasion.

Once his playing career came to an end Callander returned to Kelso as a coach.

Between 1991-2007 he coached a number of teams including Gala and Watsonians.

Former club Kelso released a statement which reads: “He achieved the ultimate accolade of captaining his country for five of his six international caps.
