A Glasgow ice cream shop is serving up a complimentary treat in celebration of Scotland's World Cup campaign.

Minted Ice Cream, based on Byres Road, has launched a giveaway offering 50 free soft-serve ice creams for every goal Scotland scores during the tournament.

Liz, supervisor at Minted Ice Cream, said: "We're really excited to get behind Scotland during the World Cup and wanted to do something that would bring a bit of fun to the city.

"Everyone loves getting behind the national team, and we hope this giveaway creates a real buzz in the West End and beyond.

"The more goals Scotland scores, the more ice creams we get to give away, so we'll be cheering every goal as loudly as anyone."



The giveaway will take place after each Scotland game, starting with their opening match against Haiti on Saturday.

Details on how and when to claim free ice cream will be announced on Minted’s social media channels.



Tom Glancey, owner of Minted Ice Cream, said: "Scotland doesn't get many opportunities to compete on the world stage, so we wanted to celebrate it in a way that's fun and brings people together.

"Hopefully there are plenty of goals, plenty of smiles and plenty of free ice cream over the next few weeks."

For more information and updates on the giveaway, fans are encouraged to follow Minted Ice Cream on social media.
