Charles McDonald (19 April 1919 – August 2005) was a Scottish international rugby union player.
Born in Jedburgh, McDonald could play a variety of backline positions and was quick off the mark.[1]
McDonald played as a wing three-quarter in his solitary Scotland appearance against the touring Wallabies at Murrayfield in 1947, having been called into the team when Charlie Drummond pulled out with influenza.[2]
In the 1950s, McDonald was a prolific points-scorer playing for Brighton and Sussex.[1]
McDonald was the uncle of Jed-Forest and Scotland winger David Rose.[3]
