Another sporting Campbeltown connection

[Mary G]

It will be a very long shot for a ticket to the UEFA cup final in Manchester, but Neil Alexander (for the uninitiated, he is Rangers’ substitute goalie who is currently making a decent job of the role, saving a penalty in the semi-final last night) has relations from the town.

Neil's Granny was Grace McKillop, who was born and brought up in Edinburgh, and her father – Neil’s great-grandfather - was John McKillop, who was born in the town in 1892. Grace was fairly well known to her Kintyre cousins, I understand. Going back further there are are Stewart's from the town in his family tree, for those who want to pursue the genealogy route.

Interesting.

Does that mean we can pick him for Kintyre through the grand parent rule?
