Glasgow Pavilion.

Built in 1904 the Pavilion has been many Glaswegians introduction to theatre, generations will have enjoyed the Christmas pantomimes here over the decades.

Today a group of us went to see a very funny (well we thought it was funny) play about a family of Celtic fans enjoying their team qualifying for the UEFA cup final. It was very silly but amusing, the date of the final was the date the son of the family was supposed to be getting married, so of course they had to get married in Seville. Celtic were beaten 3-2 by Porto on the day, their manager at the time was the very handsome José Mourinho. Hey Ho.

(The game was perhaps most remarkable for having what UEFA described at the time as "the largest travelling support to have assembled for a single game" - around 80,000 Celtic fans travelled to Seville for the final. For this turnout and the manner with which they conducted themselves, Celtic fans received an award from FIFA and UEFA, winning the FIFA Fair Play Award that year and being presented with a formal recognition from UEFA at a home match the following season.
