Ronald Ross (shinty Player) - Return To International and 1000 Goals

Return To International and 1000 Goals

Ross returned to International shinty/hurling in 2009 after a call from the management of the Scotland side due to his form in the 2009 season which saw him score 92 goals, two short of his all-time record. Kingussie reclaimed the league with a last day win against Kyles Athletic.

In 2010, after scoring 4 goals to win the Macaulay Cup in extra time, Ross stated that he would review his playing career at the end of the season.

His career total, excluding goals in reserve shinty, is in excess of 1000 goals. On May 23, 2009 he scored his 1000th goal (and 1001st) against Lovat in a MacTavish Cup Semi-Final.

As well as captaining Scotland, he has popularised the wearing of safety helmets amongst young players. He is employed as a shinty development officer by the Camanachd Association.

Ross was appointed Under-21 Scotland manager for 2012.

    Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    Despicable means used to achieve laudable goals renders the goals themselves despicable.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
