I had no idea what this 'surprise' was until we stopped for directions right outside the stadium. It was HUGE!!!! I remember nipping into a wee pie shop for lunch. The accents were very strong. I got a tour of the stadium, visited the shop & watched the match (it was Celtic v Hibernian, when 1 Shunsuke Nakamura still played for the team). The weather was aweful, but it will be an experience I remember forever.
