The young players are part of the Young People’s Fund programme, which provides fortnightly coaching sessions with Scottish FA coaches, plus day trips and outings.

After a stadium tour and visit to the Scottish Football Museum at Hampden Park, the pupils from Merkland (East Dunbartonshire) and Kilpatrick (West Dunbartonshire) headed over to Toryglen for a football festival, where they were joined by pupils from Abercorn and Parkhill secondary schools in Glasgow.

The Young People’s Fund programme is a partnership between The Big Lottery Fund and East and West Dunbartonshire councils.

The Big Lottery Fund is a key Scottish FA partner, contributing £6m to the delivery of the Scottish FA Youth Action Plan.
