In September 2017, Scotland's National Team played a World Cup 2018 Qualifier against Malta at Hampden Park in Glasgow after a succesful away game in Lithuania.  TACC invited some disadvantaged young people along to the game as part of the "My First Scotland Match" (MFSM) programme, they were a group from Frame Football Scotland.  Each child received a match ticket, a Scotland shirt, a Saltire flag and £10 to spend.

The feedback TACC received - "What a night Frame Football Scotland had!  It has to be one of the best experiences to see your National Team at home in the impressive Hampden Stadium. Scotland won 2-0 and the rain stayed off! The Frame Footballers were delighted with their Scotland top and their Scotland flag and this whole night was only made possible by Tartan Army Children's Charity (TACC) whom we met up with before kick off.  It was great to see Mandy and Jim!  Once again, my biggest thanks go to them for making last night possible.  Nadine xx"
