It’s been quite a week or so for the Scot, who has been plastered all over various social media platforms in the course of doing his job.You might well have seen Callan. He is the guy with the back pack and hose, shuffling backwards down the sheet inside the near-empty Cortina Curling Stadium, spraying plumes of water into the air. Pebbling the ice, it’s called.Some clips have been set to music, exaggerating his dainty movements. Parodies have appeared. One broadcaster from Norway, amid peals of laughter, described the chief ice technician as “scooting” down the sheet.Safe to say the Bishopbriggs-native – who now lives with his partner and two-year-old child in Copenhagen – has not been spared by his friends and family either.”They’ve been like ‘dearie me, what are you up to?'” the World Curling employee tells BBC Sport. “They’re quite enjoying seeing some of the things out there and some of the comments as well.”It seems to have just taken off but all I’m doing is my job. If, with all the doom and gloom in the world, it puts a smile on people’s face, then I’m fine with that.”Day-by-day guide to the Winter Olympics
