Alan Brown (born 10 September 1980 in Dundee, Scotland) is a former Scotland Club XV international rugby union player for Glasgow Warriors, who played at the Tighthead Prop position,[4] although he could also be used in the Back Row if necessitated.[5][6] Alan also went on to be a very successful coach after his player and assistant coach days. In 2018 he moved to Strathmore RFC, and in his first season they won the league and gained promotion as well as the quarter-finals of the Scottish cup.[2] Alan then returned to Dundee rugby as head coach for the latter 2020 season.[2] The team competes in the Scottish National League Division One.
