The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Giffnock Soccer Centre (SC) on gaining entry into the West of Scotland Football League; understands that the West of Scotland Football League currently has a total of 79 clubs and is part of the Scottish football pyramid system, and that the Giffnock SC senior team will join the competition for the 2023-24 season; acknowledges that Giffnock SC joining the league also creates new opportunities for young players in the under 20s development team to progress to the senior team and amateur sides; recognises that Giffnock SC was established in 1995 and now has approximately 1,400 boys, girls, men and women who are part of the football club, which is managed by more than 300 volunteers and coaches; applauds the ambition of the club to build an ethos whereby young aspiring footballers play their games in the morning and then support and learn from the senior team when playing home matches in the afternoon, and wishes Giffnock SC every success in the West of Scotland Football League.
