To make it to 100 years old and then to watch the Commonwealth Games.Dr Murray Kirkwood achieved both – and even saw his granddaughter win a bronze medal in the women’s 5000m at Scotstoun. He’s no stranger to the ground. As an ardent Glasgow Warriors fan, he delivered the match ball before Franco Smith’s side hosted Benetton in March, days before he became a centenarian.He’s had some memorable nights round these parts, but watching Megan tear to the podium should eclipse them. Well, so she hopes…”He’s a bit of a phenomenon,” Keith, who finished a disappointing ninth in the 10,000m earlier in the week, told BBC Scotland. “He worked hard to get here tonight, hopefully he’s had the week of his life. “He’s proud of me whatever I do but I was so happy to put in a performance I can be proud of alongside him. “When he delivered the match ball, he reported that was the night of his life, so I was trying my best to rival that tonight… I’ll have to go and ask him for his verdict!”Image source, SNSImage caption, Megan Keith’s grandad, Dr Murray Kirkwood, delivered the match-ball before Glasgow Warriors’ URC match against Benetton in March How a three-year-old helped Fachie become Scotland record-breaker
