Another sporting Campbeltown connection
Posted: Fri May 02, 2008 9:06 amIt 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.
