Megan Keith's grandad had two goals. To make it to 100 years old and then to watch the Commonwealth Games.
Dr Murray Kirkwood achieved both - and even saw his granddaughter win a bronze medal in the women's 5000m at Scotstoun.
He's no stranger to the ground. As an ardent Glasgow Warriors fan, he delivered the match ball before Franco Smith's side hosted Benetton in March, days before he became a centenarian.
He's had some memorable nights round these parts, but watching Megan tear to the podium should eclipse them. Well, so she hopes...
"He's a bit of a phenomenon," Keith, who finished a disappointing ninth in the 10,000m earlier in the week, told BBC Scotland.
