Glasgow

We took a day trip to Glasgow on Wednesday. The driver dropped us off at St George's square and we followed our fabulous tour manager, Gerrie Gilroy, on a pilgrimage past numerous street musicians to boy heaven - the Sports Direct store. The lower level was entirely shoes - running, flats, cleats - and the upstairs was soccer jerseys, pants, shorts galore. The boy spent an hour combing the racks, looking for their favorite teams, debating between old jersey style vs. new. Many boys opted for the green and white of the Celtics in preparation for the tour of their stadium.


At Jock Stein Stadium the first stop on the tour was the trophy room where our guide shared the team's rich history and great moments on the pitch. We visited the field, sat on the player bench and toured the skyboxes with their glorious views of the field. In the press room they each fielded questions from the media and referred all contractual inquiries to their agents.
