🚗 HOW DID A CAR END UP ON A FOOTBRIDGE IN GLASGOW? 😳

Following on from Monday’s video, which seemed to go viral, this time I’m walking you through exactly what happened and how a car ended up in such an unlikely place.

Here’s the story behind the bizarre incident… 👀

Hopefully this makes up for the THANK YOUs I missed on Friday as I was genuinely shell shocked when they read my name out at Lower Leagues of Scottish Football Awards.

It was great to meet all my fellow Groundhoppers, and see Footballing legends there too, like Archie, Rose and Gordon.

I love this game!!

🏰⚽ DUMBARTON ROCKS!

What a day in Dumbarton!

This one was a bit different as I combined around 350 million years of history with some Scottish football!

I explored the incredible Dumbarton Rock and discovered stories of volcanoes, monarchs, Scottish heroes, Vikings, a boat you might know… and one you really should know! 👀

Then it was off to the football as St Patricks FP took on Wishaw FC in the South Challenge Cup. 🏆⚽

History, adventure and non-league football — what more could a Tartan Groundhopper ask for?

🎥 The FULL VLOG is included below — give it a watch and let me know what you think!

Thank you to Saltire City FC for making Children's Hospices Across Scotland their charity sponsor for their game this weekend.

I used to visit the CHAS hospice as a volunteer with my dog Amber who was a therapy dog there, and it gave me some of the most cherished memories with the best people.

Just when you thought you had seen everything.
How and Why are my two questions?

⚽️📖 SHOOTY-IN IS BACK! 📖⚽️

If you’ve been following The Tartan Groundhopper for a while, you might remember SHOOTY-IN — my parody of a football magazine that I absolutely loved when I was a kid.

I originally revived SHOOTY-IN for my League Maps, and it seemed to rekindle a few fond memories for people who remembered the original magazine too. ❤️

That got me thinking…

What if we brought back some of the features they used to do?

Well… here goes! 👀

It’s not going to be a full magazine — but I thought it would be fun to bring back some of the best bits I can remember and give them a Tartan Groundhopper twist.

So, in our FIRST EDITION, we have:

📰 FRONT COVER
⚽ MATCH REPORT
👤 PLAYER PROFILE
🏟️ GROUND PROFILE

And this is where you can get involved…

Any players who fancy being featured in a SHOOTY-IN Player Profile, just drop me a DM on X, Facebook or Instagram.

I’d also love to hear your ideas.

Are there any other features you’d like to see make a comeback?

Let me know in the comments 👇

I hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane as much as I’ve enjoyed putting it together.

A huge thank you to Jamie White of Saltire City FC for being our very first player profile.
