Big up this Scottish lady for standing up to this drunk racist, and to the lad who tried to kick him off the bus.

[Hail Hail History 🍀 @hailhailhistory]

One event that took place 151 years ago today had a major and unexpected football ⚽️🍀 impact.

Sacred Heart Church in Bridgeton opened.

Without this, there would almost certainly be no Celtic.
