Echoing everything Ray has said here.
It’s just round the corner from Hampden in Mount Florida.
Well worth checking out and seeing what Ryan has to offer.

Scotland days at school, kids faces painted in saltires at nursery, the excitement and togetherness that this tournament brought to everyone in our country means so much to us all.
No one wanted to progress more than us players, and as much as the experiences and memories we’ll share will last forever, that doesn’t take away from how much this still hurts.
What the gaffer has given this group, on and off the pitch, has been immense. Not only by taking us to major tournaments but by how together we have felt as a squad and as a nation. Representing Scotland means everything to us and to him I’ll be forever grateful.
I hope the generation of young Scots who experienced this World Cup grow up believing that seeing Scotland on this stage is the new norm.
Thanks to everyone in the stands and in the streets of Boston and Miami, and to everyone back home for the incredible support.
Proud to be Scottish 🏴💙

@forzalossie Given it’s the BBC you’ve got to assume they are. To be fair there are some logical preferences in there too.
For reference: bbc.co.uk/sport/football…
You know when managers say fans have no idea what they are talking about.
They should use these two fan shouts for Scotland manager from the BBC website as evidence.
The draw for the Preliminary Rounds of the 2026-27 @scottishgas Men's Scottish Cup will take place later today.

Tonight we are recording our pod on Clarke's resignation 🎧
Sum up your thoughts in five words in the thread⤵️
Also leave us your best memory (Denmark aside) and worst memory (Hungary aside) of his reign.
Kenny Millar of the SFA with a really good interview with Steve Clarke here.
Clarke saying if we got a point against Morocco, and so got through the group, he would have stayed on to the next campaign.
Our tournament football wasn't - and hasn't ever - been good enough. But we're arguably an incorrect penalty decision away from having Clarke as manager at the home Euros in 2 years time....
“I think everybody who has been on this journey should remember the highs more than the lows, because the highs have been unbelievable.”
As he departs as Scotland Head Coach, we sat down one last time with Steve Clarke.

🏴 Never normally do this, but I’ve written some thoughts about Scotland and our anxiety at major tournaments.
It may resonate with some of you, but perhaps not! It was nice to get it off my chest at least.

Both things can be true: Clarke has been the best Scotland manager in a generation and we have underwhelmed at tournaments.
Also telling the amount of people who still haven’t got his dry sense of humour.
Lionel Messi’s last seven World Cup goals started in the round of 16 in the previous World Cup.
Scotland's last seven World Cup goals started with Graeme Souness at the 1982 World Cup, against a nation that no longer exists.
Lionel Messi, has now scored in 7 consecutive World Cup matches - a run which started in the last 16 at the 2022 World Cup.
This breaks the record of Just Fontaine, who scored in all six matches at the 1958 World Cup - including four in the match for third-place.
Thoroughly enjoyed getting out for a look behind the scenes @pollokfc earlier this week, and how the modern pre-season has evolved at non-league level.
The sound of the bleep test starting still provokes a feeling of ingrained terror.
