A wonder strike 🚀from Jaxon, which was worthy of winning any game, was the difference today. Well done to the boys for the 3 points in the final home game of the season. ⚽️⚽️⚽️

It’s six of the best from the boys as they clocked up their sixth consecutive victory this evening. It was a dominant performance against a Hutchie side who deserve credit for playing a passing game throughout, on what was a poor surface for both teams. Well done

Momentous time in Scotland especially to all the children & young people who have fought hard to ensure that children are treated as children who have the right to be respected & cared for. 👏 Respect to @YJVScotland young people & all @CYCJScotland who have paved the way

The Children (Care and Justice) (Scotland) Bill has passed! This is an incredible step forward for children in conflict with the law in Scotland.
