To say that I'm a football fan would be a slight over exaggeration, but i do support Glasgow…read moreRangers, mainly because supporting anyone else would mean automatic disownment by my dad. My boyfriend is also closely involved with the club, meaning I've been to this little venue a few times over the past year at various charity nights and events, which the Wee Club frequently hosts. Situated in very close proximity to Ibrox, The Wee Rangers Club is probably best known for it's match day hospitality, with a four course meal and guaranteed on site parking for 40 pounds per person. My dad and my boyfriend both highly recommend this. I have had a meal at the club on a couple of occasions and it was delicious. I've been informed that it is made by a chef that usually works at one of Glasgow's best hotels, so it was no surprise when the dishes came out beautifully presented like you would get in an expensive restaurant. I have always been seated in The John Brown suite which looks tiny but can hold around 120 people. You can hire this suite out for a cost of 200 pounds to non-members. The decor of the place is clean, modern and subtle, with reminders that the club is for the Rangers supporters but it isn't over the top or in your face at all. I will definitely be back for another function, the friendly stewards and bar staff made me feel very welcome, and it's ideal for a pre-match drink (or two).

What can i say about the Wee Rangers club apart from the food is great good value for money the…read more staff are simply the best will do anything (within reason) to make your day one of the best day's you can have. The price for drink is also spot on and to top it all off the party atmosphere during/after the football is the best. So i would recomend it to anyone.

Eastenders Park is a favourite venue of London soap opera stars. But the best thing about East End…read morePark is that it's so unscottish. It may have a capacity of only 11k, but it's built like an English stadium, with big stands and semi closed corners. The atmosphere is excellent. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - watching a match here reminded me of seeing a game in England. Only with better food. My goodness, I would give that bridie another go at any given meal time, 7 days in a row. Absolutely delicious. It's loud in here, the fans are great, it's one of the best experiences in Scottish football. If they could pack the house a little bit more, I'd give them a 5. Also if I could mail-order those Bridies, they'd get a 6. So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** It was opened in 1885 and is a stadium that all of the people of Dunfermline should be proud of. Also make sure you try a pie here, they're cheap and delicious. It's close to the centre of town, which is another plus.

East End Park is the home of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club, a football (or soccer) club which…read morewas formed back in 1885, making them one of the oldest clubs in the world. As a fan of "The Pars," as this club is commonly known, I feel it is my duty to sing it praises by writing a quick review. With a modest capacity of around 12,509, it's not the Nou Camp of Barcelona, but it still boasts some of the best facilities in the country. Of note are the legendary Steak Bridies which are baked by Dunfermline's famous "Stephen's the Bakers". Pies are freshly delivered on match day, so if the football isn't up to much you can rest assured that a meaty bridie will help bring a smile to your face. At half time you can expect to be entertained by Scotland's number 1 mascot Sammy The Tammy. His naughty pranks are legendary and his often risky antics can end up as the next days headlines. In my time I have seen Sammy construct a cardboard tank and "aim fire" at opposition fans, ski down one of the main stands in honour of the winter Olympics and make fun of countless managers and players. The relatively small and compact stadium with its close proximity to the pitch can make for a great atmosphere, especially when a local rival comes to town. Entry to a match costs around £17-20, so it may not exactly be a cheap day out, but you can rest assured that football fans will not be disappointed to visit this humble little club.

Some of the fans are rough, so you should Ayr on the side of caution. The theme song for this team…read moreis "Walking In The Ayr." They play in Scotland now but they used to be in the Dutch Ayridivisie. First-Hand Experience: I've seen them away from home a few times, and at home twice, and both times they won, and both times it was a lovely experience. However, I don't like getting rained on and soaked and then getting sick... and they should clean up that stadium! As a club I don't have a connection with them except really enjoying visiting their stadium the first time, in the 90s, and having a couple of friends here who half-support them. Founded in 1910, runners up of the Scottish Cup once, known as the Honest Men (honest!), and playing to 10k fans, they're a great club which has sunk down to the second lowest division in the league. They play in white, and if anyone tells you otherwise they are being Ayronneous.

Not only is the ground more polished than most of the other offerings in the game, but it also boasts a fantastic little social club. Indeed, the set up is perhaps only bettered in junior circles by Linlithgow Rose's Prestonfield stadium. Despite difficult financial times for all junior clubs, Pollok continue to attract a fairly loyal support, with stats showing an average attendance of around 600. You can generally expect them to be challenging for titles; indeed, they are one of only a handful of clubs to lifted the big prize, the Scottish Cup, on three separate occasions.

Pollok play on Saturdays (13:00ish) from September - May and also mid-week at 6:30 when the light improves... there are no floodlights!

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've been to both the old one nearby (now demolished) and this new one, and I have to say, the new one is better. In fact, it's a major upgrade and no wonder the fans are happy about it. You can basically see the inside from the outside and having wandered the grounds in both 2011 and 2014, I can say that while it's still a very small stadium and still could use a few upgrades, it's something to be proud of that will stand the test of time. I look forward to seeing a game here one of these days. So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country.

So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** It's a brand new stadium built in 2009 to replace Love Park (I love Love Park but it did need to go), it's all seater located on Greenhill Road, and it has a decent atmosphere up in Paisley. It can hold 8k people and cost 8 mil to build. Tesco bought the old stadium and demolished it.

Not being a huge football fan makes me weird in Glasgow. The SFL is the "lower" divisions of…read moreScottish football, often seen as a side show to the Old Firm rivalry and having many of the characteristics of old fashioned, 1970s soccer, barring the crowd violence. I actually prefer my football at this scale: it feels familiar and safe, with the players able to hear the cheers and jeers, and the fans often hearing the players' shouts. It's a little clumsy at times, but has moments of poetic brilliant- the sort of thing that gets paid so well in the bigger leagues, but doesn't have the same allure when it is so expensive! Perhaps this is just another example of my nostalgia for sport as it used to be (see also: speedway), but this league gives more of the flavour of Scotland's enthusiasm for football than the regimented support of the Premier, in my opinion.

I have a different set of friends for each season. The group I go to see games at this stadium…read morewith, is my summer set. They're pretty nice. But I only see them when it's warm, which it almost never is in Bonnie Scotland. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I am proud to say that I have breathed the Ayr at Air United's famous old stadium. I saw a live game here during the 90s and then again in 2011. My regret is that I can't give the place more than 3, because the bathrooms were okay, but the stands were falling apart, and the one I was in was uncovered, and it rained on me. Still, it's a ground with a lot of character and if they clean it up, I'll definitely raise the rating. Fantastic atmosphere here.

Hmm. Depends on the gender of the majority of the fans I suppose. Who am I kidding though. Rugby Park actually is home to football... and what a football team it is. This stadium is the only place in the world you can get a "Killie Pie" which sounds lethal but is actually delicious and was voted the best pie at any football stadium anywhere. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I've seen Kilmarnock play here twice. Once was against a smaller team from the northern reaches, and once was against an Old Firm team. It was similarly loud and intense and raucous for both games, which really impresses me. Any club can put out a big crowd for an Old Firm game or a big name visitor. But KIllie does it every single week, regardless of weather. I tried the Killie Pie and oh my goodness no wonder it's Britain's best pie. The girl that most recently brought me here (2011) was a little angel and shared my pie with me and made sure I had a great time with all the rough lads.

It can hold 18k fans and has artificial grass. It was built in 1899 and then renovated in 1995, before hosting Blackburn Rovers, whose striker Alan Shearer scored a hat trick in that game. The stadium hosted a Scottish rugby game so finally the name came true. Scotland have played football here 4 times, most recently losing to Wales in 1997. The stadium was used in the film A Shot At Glory with Robert Duvall, and Ally McCoist used to play here. It needs to fill in its corners but I'll still give it a 5 for the pies.
