Josh McKay signs three-year contract extension at Glasgow Warriors
Josh McKay has signed a new three-year contract extension at Glasgow Warriors.
The 27-year-old full-back, who initially joined in 2021, will now remain at the Scotstoun club until at least 2028.
New Zealand-born McKay will be eligible to play for Scotland next year after living in the country for five straight years.
He has scored 17 tries in 62 appearances for Glasgow Warriors to date, the most recent of which saw him mark his return from injury in style with a Player of the Match-winning performance in Saturday night's 14-6 victory away to Zebre Parma.
His form over the last few seasons for Franco Smith's side has made him a firm favourite among the support.
Last season he was voted as the McCrea Financial Services Player of the Year, collecting the award prior to playing every minute of the BKT URC play-offs in Glasgow's historic run to the title.
After putting pen to paper on the new deal on Tuesday, he revealed he has his eye on winning more silverware.
He said: 'It was a really easy decision to renew in the end.
'It's great to have a good bit of certainty on where I'll be for the next few years – I love it here, both playing for Glasgow but also living in the city and being able to get out and explore Scotland. To be able to do all of that for the next three years is huge, and I can't wait to make more memories with the boys.
'I don't want to look too far ahead, but at the end of the day you want to play as much rugby as you can and you want to win titles.
'I'd love to play 100 games for this club and I'd love to win more silverware with the boys. We've got a really good group here and we know that we've got a great chance to do just that over the next few years.
'There's a massive family feel amongst the club, and the supporters get behind us every chance they get. We don't have the biggest stadium, but everyone that turns up makes a real difference and we love their support. I love being part of this city, and it really feels like home.
'It's an awesome spot to be, and we're all sailing in the same direction to try to push us forward and put us in the best position possible.'
Head coach Smith added: 'Josh has fully bought into what we are looking to build here at Scotstoun, and we are extremely pleased to be able to retain his services for the next couple of seasons.
'His performances are consistently of the highest level, as well as developing into a leader within our environment both on and off the field.
'He is someone whose pride in being a Warrior is evident any time he runs onto the field, and we look forward to seeing more from him in a Glasgow jersey.'

I try to think of them just like a shot really, like a driver, like a six-iron, whatever.

Liverpool target Kerkez ditched surprise career before life-changing phone call
Milos Kerkez looks set to clinch a big-money move to Liverpool from Bournemouth this summer and the talented Hungarian left-back has walked a long-winding road to Premier League stardom having also spent time in Italy with AC Milan Milos Kerkez originally wanted to be a swimmer - now he's itching to make a splash at Liverpool following two remarkable seasons at Bournemouth. The tenacious Hungarian left-back's spectacular growth has certainly come as no surprise to the Anfield hierarchy. Reds sporting director Richard Hughes, formerly of Bournemouth, played a fundamental role in the £15.5million deal that brought Kerkez to the Premier League with the Cherries in 2023. The explosive AZ Alkmaar starlet, now 21, had already agreed personal terms with Lazio after netting against the Italians in the UEFA Conference League before a late intervention from Hughes swung the balance. Bournemouth's pitch to the Kerkez family was centred around his development and unlocking his superstar potential. Their belief in his talent has since been vindicated in emphatic fashion after the all-action full-back was included in the Premier League's Fan Team of the Season following a stellar campaign under Andoni Iraola. Kerkez's relentless energy and impressive consistency has charmed Liverpool, who regard him as the perfect heir to Andy Robertson's throne as club-to-club negotiations continue between the parties. However, his electrifying displays had also left a notable impression upon Real Madrid, Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, among others. Serbian-born Kerkez is no stranger to big-name interest, in fact, he already has a firm grasp and understanding of the dedication and quality that is required to succeed at one of the world's best clubs having previously signed for AC Milan from Hungarian outfit Gyor in 2021. Rossoneri legend Paolo Maldini, Milan's sporting director at the time, had studied video footage of the fresh-faced prospect upon the recommendation of club scouts and he pulled out all the stops to pip Juventus to the highly-coveted teenager's signature. In a late dash to beat the transfer deadline, the Italian icon even sent a private jet to Hungary to conclude the deal. Kerkez later explained: "They left no stone unturned, if Paolo Maldini calls you personally, then you shouldn't think too much, you have to go! As a child, I watched many videos of him, we talked a lot and he gave me lots of advice, when you're talking to the best left-back in the world, every word is worth paying attention to." While Kerkez did not earn first-team minutes besides a practise match, he trained alongside the likes of Theo Hernandez, Rafael Leao and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and also played against a Liverpool side that featured Conor Bradley and Jarrell Quansah in the UEFA Youth League. He was humble enough to concede that physically, he "could not compete" with Milan's array of high-profile stars but when the Serie A giants pushed to send Kerkez on loan, he instead opted to seal a permanent switch to AZ, where he caught the eye of Arne Slot, despite receiving various offers from Germany. The Hungarian international no longer looks, nor feels, remotely out of place on the world stage and his impending arrival at Liverpool looks poised to propel Slot's champions to even greater heights. Kerkez's stunning rise to prominence, via six different countries, is a glowing reflection of not only his sacrifice - but his monstrous mentality. Shortly after deciding to ditch his swimming aspirations to prioritise his football career as an eight-year-old, Kerkez - released from Hungary's national team camp on Saturday morning ahead of his impending switch to Merseyside - moved to Austria where he spent five years with Rapid Wien. When the world later stood still in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, he would pick the brains of Gyor team-mate and former Watford striker Tamas Priskin on what it was like to play in the Premier League. Fast-forward five years and national treasure Kerkez is already on course to eclipse Priskin's 63 international caps for Hungary, having already made 23 appearances for his country. Kerkez, whose old brother plays as a left-back for Aris FC in the Greek Super League, is poised to become the second most-expensive Hungarian ever following compatriot Dominik Szoboszlai's £60m switch to Anfield from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023.

Martin learned all about Ibrox folklore drinking whisky in the jacuzzi with kitman Jimmy Bell
GIVEN the chaos that surrounded Rangers back in January 2018, Russell Martin was always facing a tall order when he arrived at Ibrox on loan from Norwich City. In what will rank as one of the most ignominious campaigns in the club's history, the season had started with the European humiliation at the hands of Progres Niederkorn. Pedro Caixinha was sacked as manager just a couple of months further down the line, before Graeme Murty took charge on an interim basis. Looking to add some experience in central defence, it was Murty who signed Martin after the pair had worked together previously at Norwich. But it didn't go to plan. In particular, two hammerings by Celtic towards the end of the season ensured the atmosphere among the Rangers supporters, and also in the dressing room, turned toxic. The first was a 4-0 defeat at Hampden in the Scottish Cup semi-finals, before Rangers then lost 5-0 at Celtic Park a fortnight later. Martin played the full 90 minutes in both matches. It was a bruising experience and one which Martin has spoken candidly about this week after being named as Rangers' new head coach. The season would end with Jimmy Nicholl taking charge of the team as Rangers and Hibs fought out a 5-5 draw at Easter Road on the final day, with the Ibrox club finishing third in the league. Yet, even despite the chaos and mutiny around him, Martin knew he was learning from one of the very best. In Jimmy Bell, there was no greater man from whom to learn the values and history of Rangers as a club. The legendary Ibrox kitman, who sadly passed away in 2022, became an invaluable source of knowledge and guidance to Martin, even in those darkest of times. So, too, did club masseur Davie 'Disco' Lavery. 'It was amazing to be around those guys,' said the new head coach, who has signed a three-year deal to take charge at Ibrox. 'Disco got engaged the other night, so I want to congratulate him. 'It would always just remind you about what the club meant, what brought it success, we'd talk about it a lot — Jimmy especially. 'For the first week or two, I didn't have a clue. Jimmy hardly said a word to me apart from to tell me off about kit and stuff. 'By the end, we got on really well. I was so sad when he passed. On my last day at the training ground, he brought in a bottle of whisky. I was in the jacuzzi and I was the last one there. 'He brought in two plastic cups, and I don't drink, but I felt obligated because it was Jimmy. He's a Rangers legend. I was already a bit dehydrated, I'd been in the jacuzzi too long and he poured me a couple. 'He told me so many stories and it was a beautiful moment. I'm really glad I shared that with him. I was very grateful because I felt that meant he had accepted me. 'It hadn't gone well on the pitch, but he understood that I'd tried my very best. I'd really tried with a few of the young lads as well and spent a lot of extra time with them to try to help them on their journeys. 'Jimmy was regaling me of stories for a long time, and I had to leave in a taxi. It probably explains my performance the day after. When you've an appreciation of how much it meant to him as a person, someone who'd worked in the club and seen it all. 'I think to feel that passionate about the club, and Disco as well, the way he talks about it, he got emotional talking about his football club and what it meant to him. 'Disco was sad at that point because it wasn't what it was, and he was desperate for it to be back to where it was. So, we had a lovely conversation the other day and he's delighted I'm coming back… or so he's told me! I said to Disco at the time when I was here as a player, I want to manage this club one day. He texted me last night saying: 'You've made it happen. Well done, I'm proud of you'. I'm really grateful for that. 'When I came here, I wanted to stay here as a player for as long as I could. And then when it became apparent that it wasn't going to happen, the aim was then to try to get back here as a coach or as a manager. And thankfully I've been able to do that.' Back in 2018, Martin was the victim of sectarian abuse during his time in Glasgow. In a clip which was circulated on social media, he was verbally abused by a Celtic fan in the middle of a shop. He understands the intensity of working in Glasgow is unlike any other environment, but insists the positive messages of support far outweigh the trolls. Martin is thick-skinned and has high tolerance levels in terms of stress, qualities which he feels came as a result of his upbringing with an abusive father. There were times when he could walk around Glasgow in relative anonymity, even when he was on Scotland duty. It's a luxury he will now longer have. 'The size of this club, I think, people don't understand until you come up here,' explained the 39-year-old. 'I thought I'd had an understanding and then being in it, it's even bigger than what you think and how much it means to people. 'Also, I played for Scotland for six or seven years prior to that and still had complete anonymity walking around Glasgow if I was up here for a game. 'Then, literally the day after I came here, I was walking through the West End and had none. 'I was like, 'Okay, that's changed. Now I need to go out with a hat on and my glasses if I want to go and read in the West End'. 'In football you have to accept it is part and parcel that sometimes you might get a bit of stick. I never felt under threat. I think I only got put out because someone filmed it. 'On the whole, the positive stuff — the conversations you have with people, even fans of opposition teams — far outweighs the negative stuff. The intensity of it all is not like anywhere else I've ever experienced, but I think that's part of the attraction.'
