A FOOTBALL team have won the opportunity to train with the Scotland Women's National Team.
Giffnock Soccer Centre (GSC) Under 16s girls won the "money can't buy price" thanks to a competition from M&S Food and the Scottish FA.
The competition ran during the summer where M&S shoppers nominated their local school or grassroots football club to win the prize.

Customers had to buy a product featuring the retailer’s health seal of approval, the Eat Well flower, and for every product they bought it was an entry into the competition.
Leah Eddie, Scotland and Hibs centre-back, delivered the news to the youth side at their home ground in GSC Auldhouse that they had won the competition.
Kenny Wilson, head coach for Under 16 Girls at GSC, said: "We are thrilled that we have won this amazing competition.
"We have more than 1000 players on our books so it was hard to choose which team should have the chance to train with their idols but our under 16 girls have done so well, reaching a recent final, that we felt it would be perfect to celebrate their success and train with the women that inspire them every day."

Leah Eddie added: "It was a pleasure to surprise the girls at the club – they were so excited to find out they had won.
"I really hope they enjoy the session – who knows maybe one of them will be a future international star."
Sharry Cramond, marketing director of M&S Food, Hospitality and Masterbrand, said: "We are absolutely delighted to give this amazing prize as part of our partnership with the Scotland football teams.
"Our Eat Well products aim to make families healthier for the next generation by simply using the Eat Well flower to signpost what products are healthy choices.
"All customers have to do is follow the flower.
"Through our partnership with the Scottish FA, we want to shine a light on the diet and eating habits of much-loved footballing heroes and icons, bringing to life positive healthy eating messages for kids through Eat Well."
Giffnock Soccer Centre Under 16s girls will meet and train with the Scotland Women's National Team in Spring next year.
