Blackwood bowler Iain McLean says he was backed by a “sea of blue” from Scottish fans as he won bronze at the Commonwealth Games.
The 38-year-old reached the semi-final in men’s singles, but lost to eventual winner Aaron Wilson, of Australia [who then beat Northern Ireland’s Gary Kelly] and bounced back to claim a comfortable win over Malaysia’s Fairul Izwan Abd Muin to take bronze in his debut Games.
Blackwood Victoria player Iain would have preferred a medal of a brighter colour, but says a podium finish was his aim.
