Today marks 150 years since a game changing football match in Glasgow, that was a catalyst for the sport to rise in popularity across the country.
The world's first international football match was held at Hamilton Crescent, the home of the West of Scotland Cricket Club, in Partick. Kicking off at 2pm on November 30, Scotland played England faced off.
The game provided the launchpad for the explosion of football across the country, and saw 4,000 Tartan Army foot soldiers march to watch. With admission priced at a shilling, it’s said the game helped establish Scotland as the home of international football.
