Comment	Right, own up. Which one of you was it pretending to be an American in the comments section? "Manhattanite Manhattan Oct. 19 Who travels to Glasgow to eat Chinese / Italian food? We New Yorkers can go to Chinatown or Little Italy for that, thank you. Pretty lame suggestion.

A visit to their stadiums at Parkhead or Ibrox will be more than a memorable sporting event: it will be a revelation of unbridled passion, one of the most memorable events I have experienced in my travels to some 30 countries.
