Happy St Andrew's Day to everyone.
Today @PollokFan and I are delighted to announce the publication of our new book.
This is the anniversary of the 1st international match in 1872, and the 1st player featured in the book is Joe Taylor, Scotland full back in that game.

We have some good news. My team, which we call the OlyMADMen, has produced and updated the website on Olympic history and statistics - olympedia.org. This was purchased by the IOC in 2016 but has not been updated since December 2023 when the IOC ended our contract.
We're pleased to inform you that we have reached a new contract with the IOC and Olympedia will soon be updated and made public again for all users with no fee. It will be available well before the 2026 Olympic Winter Games at Milano-Cortina.

Highly approve of Legacy numbers in football.
Would be interested to know what the Legacy Numbers are for all @ScotlandNT players / a great way to honour players who have worn the dark blue.
Do we have a list of Legacy players for the national team ? Who can help 🏴

Hey @grok Who was the most famous person to visit my profile? Don’t tag them, just say who it was.
Sad to hear of the demise of Doune Castle AFC, one of Scotland's longest established amateur clubs. I wrote about one of their most famous players, James Morrison, who went on to be a WW1 ANZAC hero: scottishsporthistory.com/spo…

From 1 September, the Scottish Government will scrap @ScotRail peak rail fares.
This helps keep more money in your pocket and it’s good for the planet too.
ALT Peak rail fares are gone for good.

Here’s a little blog post @LaurenBeatty93 & I wrote about the @HeritageFundSCO funded project ‘The Maroon Mile’ for Women’s History Scotland: womenshistoryscotland.org/20…
Project led by @HeartsHeritage @JamTarts @The_FOH
Referee stops game after player is racially abused, spectator is ejected. It happened last night, it also happened as far back as 1968 when ref Jim Finney took action on behalf of Scunthorpe's Scottish winger Peter Foley. If only other officials had been so proactive.

Nor terracing. Don’t know if I’d stand on that.
17 May 1928, at the Estadio Alvear y Tagle (River Plate FC, Buenos Aires) Motherwell lost 2-1 to Combinado Provincia. Bobby Ferrier scored in 36th minute.
Watched by a crowd of 30,000.
