Glasgow pupils took part in a special football game to mark 150 years since Scotland's first international match.
Children from Hyndland Primary School took to a specially laid pitch at the West of Scotland Cricket Ground to mark the occasion.
On St Andrew’s Day, November 30, 1872, teams representing Scotland and England took to the same field to play out a 0-0 draw.
It was a significant moment in the development of international football.
Scotland and Hearts goalkeeper Craig Gordon joined the kids at the event.
Glasgow Times photographer Colin Mearns photographed the game.
