The club's initial goal was to complete 800 miles in a circuit around Scotland.

Instead, Jordanhill AFC achieved 14,570 miles around the world within just 48 hours.

The club has since thanked its 800 participants whom helped raise the funds for the local charity.

A Tweet reads: "Too many people to tag. I’ll just say a thank you and how immensely proud I am to be part of this great club.

"Thank you... now we just need to try win something on the field!"
