Scott in donor appeal

HOLLYWOOD star Dougray Scott yesterday launched a campaign for more bone marrow donors in Scotland.

The actor, who has featured in films such as Enigma and M:i-2, was in Glasgow to back a city policeman’s appeal to aid leukaemia sufferers. PC Stephen McIntosh said he had been touched when he heard of the plight of leukaemia patient Johanna MacVicar, and was especially concerned by the lack of ethnic minority donors.

Mr McIntosh, 38, whose family come from Jamaica, made a particular appeal for his fellow officers to register as donors.
