HERO'S WELCOME
After returning to Glasgow, Scotland, from the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio de Janeiro having won gold in men's singles, he was given the chance to parade his medal in front of fans at the home stadium of his favourite football team, Rangers. "It was very special. I loved football when I was a wee boy and before I was in hospital and had my condition I played football a lot and my dream was to be a footballer and be a Rangers player, so to have that experience of walking out in front of the crowd at Ibrox and getting a reception was pretty incredible."
