Local Celebrity---are you Tommy Kennedy????

That is just great! No wonder you guys are so delighted. Maybe a Courier reporter/ photographer could get a press pass - seriously - they should contact the SFA about this, if they haven't done so already.

Anyway, when you get to meet Alex McLeish, and tell him that you are from Campbeltown, he will probably ask you if you know Thomas Maguire, which you do, obviously. I met him Alex a couple of weeks ago at a do, and that was the first thing he said when I told him I where I came from. He told me that they shared digs together in their younger days together in Aberdeen. He did say that I should pass on his kind regards to Thomas (not had a chance yet ...). Well done to Stuart, and the rest of the family!

Mary, Mary - never mind the Courier getting a press pass - what about the Kintyre Forum!

Arto - sort it oot

You might have a case there ...

[abbey craig]

hopefully i`ll naw have the zimmer by then darren ,are you up on the bus??

I am sure Abbey Craig will be able to furnish me with better photos than this (when they get back down from the moon!) but here are a few photos showing local lad Stuart Crossan as the Scotland team mascot yesterday at Hampden. What a wonderful moment for Stuart and one which will remain with him forever more. Arthur - I can only image how proud you and Anne were yesterday - superb! Thanks for the offer of joining you yesterday in at the VIP but I thought I would just sit with the paupers in the West Stand.

PS - Could you see Stuart on the TV?

Young Stuart with Scotland captain Barry Ferguson leading out the teams yesterday

Again with the team



Only wish this was clearer - Stuart running off into the arms of a very proud dad -



Final scoreline! Certainly a lucky mascot!
