A Scotland rugby fan dies after falling ill while watching his country's 20-0 Calcutta Cup defeat to England in the Six Nations at Murrayfield.

A Scotland rugby fan died after falling ill while watching his country's 20-0 Calcutta Cup defeat to England in the Six Nations at Murrayfield on Saturday.

The 60-year-old man, who attended the match with a group of friends, collapsed at around 5.15pm and was treated by paramedics before being transferred by ambulance to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he was pronounced dead.

Scottish Rugby Union president Donald Macleod said: "We are extremely saddened to hear of the death of a supporter who attended today's Calcutta Cup match.

"We extend our deepest sympathy to the gentleman's family and friends and we are standing-by to support in any way we can."

England's Rugby Football Union president Bob Reeves added: "The rugby family has lost one of its members and on behalf of all the travelling England fans and the RFU we extend our condolences to the gentleman's relations and all those who knew him."

A statement from Police Scotland claimed that inquiries are still ongoing, but that it is not believed that there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding the man's death.
