Football teaches more than skills — it teaches smart choices. ⚽ Our 2019s took part in another week of the @ScottishFA & @NetworkRail’s Railway Initiative, learning lessons that go far beyond the game. 🙌 #LearningThroughFootball #RailSafety

A brilliant wee piece on a recent facility development featuring my old pal Gus. What a fantastic club philosophy and culture! 👏👏👏⚽️🏴
🗣️ "The funding has been an absolute game-changer." In 58 years at Symington Tinto, Gus MacKay, has seen it all. Now, thanks to funding provided by our Pitching In initiative, the number of players using the community club’s pitch has grown five-fold.

Fun football with the 2021s before seeing the 2018s in action during their weekly futsal session. ⚽️ Great to see coaches offering different formats to support player development. 🧠 Futsal builds quick thinking, close control & creativity - key skills for the game. 👏

Don’t know the genius who produced this but it’s the worlds best graph to use when thinking about planning a session for kids Not all kids turn up to training to learn, some just want to play 😊 Well done to the designer 👏🏼

Kids just want to have fun playing football ⚽ As adults, have we forgotten that simple joy? Think back to your childhood, running, laughing, dreaming big. Don’t take that away from this generation. Let’s protect the magic of the game ✨ #LetThemPlay
