Episode 41 | Fitba' and Other Sports

In the week that Scotland were knocked out of the European Football Champions we look at the importance of Glasgow Green as an open space in the city where football and a variety of other sports flourished. In use today as a Fanzone for the Euros we explore the significance of football to Scotland and in particular the Tartan Army- supporters of the Scottish football team. We explore the agony and ecstasy and, above all, the eternal optimism associated with supporting our national team. Yes Sir, We Can Boogie!
