Congratulating Interclyde FC
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates Interclyde FC, a Sunday league football club from Inverclyde, on its welcoming of local members of the New Scots community into its team; notes that players from the club, which is coached by Brendan McEleny, decided to ask residents of a nearby hotel hosting asylum seekers to play with them after noticing them watching the club’s training sessions; understands that the club then approached Morton in the Community, a charity affiliated with Greenock Morton FC, to ask it to provide football boots for the New Scots through its Boots and Pieces programme, and that the charity did this, and thanks the club, its players and Morton in the Community for, it considers, helping to break down social barriers through football.
