Ronald Ross (shinty player)

Ronald Ross, MBE (born 1975) is a retired Scottish shinty player who played for Kingussie Camanachd. He is a forward, the only man to have ever scored more than 1000 goals in the sport[1] and who has broken several other records as an individual and as part of Kingussie's record-breaking first team.

The media has awarded him the nickname "Ronaldo of the Glens"[2] in tribute to his scoring prowess, drawing comparisons with the famous Portuguese footballer. Everyone in shinty just calls him "Ronald".
