Alastair Kellock speaks on a range of important subjects ahead of Glasgow Warriors' season opener against Leinster.
possess the presence or command respect to the extent of Alastair Kellock. The 42-year-old remains the only player to captain a Scottish side to major tournament success but he’s now thriving in a new role at his beloved Glasgow Warriors.
“There was huge growth in being able to tell our own story and winning games helps that massively. We want to double down on that this season, get our personalities across and showcase the emotions involved. We want to get better on the pitch, win games and be successful. “It's huge,” Kellock accepted on the competition that rugby faces. “But we were looking at stats recently and the sporting audience on the whole is growing, but there’s so many more sports or activities for them to digest.“It's massively important that we get the personality of our players across. They are proper heroes for these kids to come and watch and follow on social media so they can feel a close interaction.
“We want to have a style that excites people and again, I believe we're in a very good place with that. There is a big push from us and our operations team to make sure that the event is as strong.” “It also really pleases me that we played in a style that excited people. We were entertaining, yes, but we were hard and we were tough. That's ultimately who we are as a club. The move to Scotstoun has been fantastic from a fan point of view but we also accept that we need to do more - we're just about there.
“Glasgow had as many at the World Cup than any other club in the URC so that shows the quality we have at the club,” Kellock insisted. “The vast majority of the Scottish team will come back to play in this country and we need to protect that.
