TOM WALSH reckons cousin Jack McDonald can help him on the road to success at Ibrox after earning his big break on the fairways.

The Walker Cup star has recently joined the International Sports Management stable run by Chubby Chandler that has nurtured the likes of Louis Oosthuizen, Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood and Danny Willett in recent years.

Walsh has set his sights on a first team berth with Rangers next term as he looks to make his mark at Ibrox after a loan deal at Dumbarton.

And he is keen to bring more sporting success to the family after seeing McDonald jet off around the world to pursue a career amongst the golfing elite.

Walsh said: “He has just gone pro. He is here, there and everywhere – I can’t keep up where he is. He’s in Dubai one week and Hong Kong the next – it’s ridiculous.

“It’s brilliant for Jack and I’m delighted for him, although I haven’t seen him for a while.

“It’s good when we meet at family events because we have a good chat and feed off each other, even although it’s different sports, because there are a lot of similarities

“I have watched him a few times and his concentration is another level. Our game is all instinct but golf is all about concentration and focus.

“It’s the real deal for him now, obviously. He has left Uni and he’s gone pro so hopefully he can kick on.

“He played football when he was younger and he has been to a few of my games, especially at Ibrox where he loves the atmosphere.

“You would have to ask him if he is slightly in awe of me but it’s good to have someone like that in the family to feed off.”
