Summary at a Glance

Handball - not rugby - is the more appealing option for both brothers, with Angus opting out of Scottish Rugby’s youth pathway and electing for a future in the lesser-known sport.

While Rory, 20, remains in Scotland to finish his studies at Heriot Watt University, 17-year-old Angus will head for Denmark this summer to spend a year at the prestigious Aarhus Sport Academy.

Rory says: ‘Kelvinside are doing everything they can to make handball an attractive option for the kids and saying: “This is a great sport, get involved”.

‘I was loving rugby, but I was loving handball just as much, if not more, and I could see more of a career in that because of how many injuries there are in rugby and just with how I was doing in handball.

Angus and Rory hope the sport can grow in Scotland and more kids will get involved.
