What we will do in this experience

Hi, I’m Lindsay, your host for this one-of-a-kind football experience in Glasgow. This tour combines two of life’s greatest things: football and pubs.

Armed with an all-day subway ticket, we’ll travel across Glasgow retracing the steps of the pioneers who created the modern international game. I’ll share the challenges they faced, the decisions they made, and how their passion shaped football as we know it today.

Along the way, we’ll stop at iconic pubs, enjoy a traditional meat pie, and discover football landmarks that connect Glasgow to Argentina and beyond. To finish, you’ll even have the chance to grab a discounted meal if you wish, rounding off a perfect day of football and culture.
