An Edinburgh businessman at the centre of a fake Airbnb takeover deal can be revealed as a football fantasist who forged a prestigious licence to get a top coaching job.
Grant MacCusker astonished the Scottish business world last month after concocting a tale about one of his businesses being bought over by Airbnb in a megabucks deal. He followed that up by launching a crowdfunder for a lettings company, which was exposed for inventing a roster of fake executive staff using photos pinched from the internet.
The Record has now revealed that MacCusker forged a UEFA B Licence in 2017, presenting it to Airdrieonians Football Club as he applied for the post of youth coach. They also revealed that MacCusker sparked a security alert after getting himself into a Scotland training base and trying to pass himself off as one of the coaching staff.
