As Gordon and our brave lads took on the might of international footballing newbies Gibraltar at Hampden, TACC were delighted to introduce 10 very brave newbie supporters to their First Scotland Match.

All our children came from the HUSH Club in Dundee and made the perilous trip to Glasgow on a very cold Sunday afternoon, with the assistance of a mini-bus provided by the generous assistance of the good folks from Sidlaw Travel and driver, Jamie Costello.

The Hush Club provides a brilliant support for children with additional needs and sensory issues up to the age of 16, by organising recreational facilities and offering support and guidance (emotional and practical) to the children, siblings and family. Development of social interaction and confidence is key to some of the work being done by the Hush Club.

“I would like to personally thank everyone from the Tartan Army Children’s Charity for an amazing day out. All the kids had a fantastic time and looked great in their new tops.”

The young people from Tullochan had an amazing time at the Scotland v Germany match on 7^th September 2015 at Hampden Stadium. None of the young people who attended the match had been to a Scotland match before, the atmosphere was electric and everyone really enjoyed themselves. The two goals that were scored against the world champions were fantastic and everyone enjoyed singing along with the fans during the game. It was great to see the young people enjoying themselves and mixing with both the Scotland and Germany fans.  It was a great night and such a friendly atmosphere.

Thank you Tartan Army Children’s Charity for the opportunity !!!

The group of children from Stanley Primary School in Ardrossan had a fantastic night at the Scotland v Poland match at Hampden Park in October 2015 when they came along with our MFSM (My First Scotland Match) project.  You can see by the photos that the disappointment of Poland's last minute goal didn't stop them enjoying themselves and they got to celebrate 2 excellent Scotland goals.

The young people who attended the match really enjoyed the "electric" atmosphere.

Thank you Tartan Army Children’s Charity for the opportunity !!!
