“The University of Strathclyde is just a great place to be studying right now” McLean told glasgowwarriors.org.
“The lecturers have given me so much support since I enrolled, and have been really understanding to my situation when it comes to balancing studying and being a professional rugby player.
“The Elite Athlete liaison team has really helped me out in terms of finding that balance. They’ve helped me to become a lot more independent and organised.
“I’m really excited to continue my studies at Strathclyde.”
