'Football has always held a public space in Scotland, the kind usually reserved for politics, religion and war.' -ALISTAIR FINDLAY

From MacDiarmid to McCaig, this is the first collection of the greatest Scottish football poetry since the game began. Capturing the glory, the frustration, the partisanship, and the joy of footie, 100 Favourite Scottish Football Poems is a wonderful present for the arm-chair referee this Christmas. Join us for the launch, with guest appearances by contributing poets (to be announced). You'll have a chance to suggest a favourite poem to be recited by a poet of your choice, or get up and read it yourself! A boisterous and energetic night of football and poetry.
