"All this is probably my own fault," says Cammy ruefully. "I was boasting that I never got injured, and just look at what happened."
Cammy's problems began when he damaged his shoulder against France in March, putting him out of the rest of the regular season. He then played only 30 minutes of Scotland's tour Down Under after inuring his ankle in the first game and then doing the same later that summer.
Cammy has played only three matches — plus that 30 minutes on the southern hemisphere - in seven months and, having broken back into the Scotland side during the World Cup after a three-year absence, he has never had the chance to cement his place. "The real frustration was that it was three completely different injuries," he reveals. "I thought I was recovered, but then something new came along."
When Cammy joined Glasgow last season he was immediately installed as captain but that job has been taken by Jon Petrie this term after some typically straight talking from Cammy.
"It is simple, I was injured," he says. "I had missed the whole of the second half of last season, the last game I played for Glasgow was the second match against Saracens in January and Jon Petrie came in and did a good job.
"Hugh Campbell (the coach talked about having a pool of captains, similar to what has happened with Scotland, but I felt that the way I would captain the team would be different from the way Jon would do it, and that would be different from the way Gordon Bulloch would do it. It would not be fair on the players to have different styles each week, and since I was not going to be fit at the start, I would rather they just picked someone else and went with it. I told them that and they picked Jon, who had done a brilliant job with the Scotland midweek team out in Australia as well as with Glasgow when I was injured. It is an appointment I fully support."
This may be Cammy's last season as a player — his Glasgow contract runs out next summer. "If they offer me another contract, I would have to sit down and look at it in the cold light of day. Otherwise, I think, possibly coaching or playing back in club rugby," he says.
