McDonald’s Fun Football ambassador Steven Naismith commented: “It’s fantastic to come down and see first-hand kids getting back into football in a fun and safe environment at this McDonald’s Fun Football session. As a dad myself, it’s great to see McDonald’s offer these sessions to kids of all abilities especially in a tournament year when everyone wants to get out and play football for the first time. You can see from the excitement and joy on the kids’ faces today just how much this means to them to be out there playing.” McDonald’s has worked with the Scottish FA and the other Home Nations Football Associations for the last 19 years, making them the longest standing provider of grassroots football in the UK.

Local McDonald’s franchisee Andrew Gibson said; “Steven Naismith has done so much to inspire participation in grassroots football in Scotland so I can think of no better person to kick off what’s already been an exciting summer of sport for our country. We’re proud to be offering so many Fun Football sessions and to be giving so many kids the chance to play football for free here in Glasgow and across Scotland.”
