Andy Nicol, who retired on Friday, said: "I'm very excited at the prospect of working with the players and everyone connected with the Currie club. It will be great to meet up with Ally Donaldson again. We played alongside each other on the Scotland tour to the South Pacific, dare I say it, 10 years ago and now we have a chance to work together in a coaching environment."
Iain Russell, Currie's acting director of rugby, said: "These appointments illustrate our desire at Currie to not only cement our position among Scotland's top clubs but to press for the game's top prizes next season."
