Our favourite things about Glasgow

A Footballing Mecca

Celtic and Rangers are not just the two biggest football clubs in Scotland, but two of the biggest in the world. Their fierce rivalry – called the Old Firm – is based on religious conflicts, which divided the city in the past, with Celtic being a primarily Catholic club, while Rangers are Protestant. Go to a match at Celtic Park or the Ibrox, or take a tour of their world-famous stadiums.

The Food Scene

Of course, Glasgow is known for its rich and indulgent food – the famous deep-fried pizza (or ‘pizza crunch’) being a local favourite, but there’s more to Glasgow than Irn Bru and deep-fried goods. Glasgow is credited as inventing Britain’s favourite dish – chicken tikka masala – and is home to plenty of Michelin-starred restaurants which combine modern cooking methods with traditional Scottish cuisine for an unforgettable dining experience.

Famous Glaswegians

Numerous people from Glasgow have contributed greatly to different fields and industries, and they all hail from this excellent city: Billy Connolly, Peter Capaldi, Annie Lennox, Sir Alex Ferguson, Andy Murray and Nicola Sturgeon, to name just a few. They remain proud Glaswegians to this day.
