No votes for Scotland

Who says footballers are not interested in wider society and politics? Several members of the Scotland squad were sitting at their training base on the banks of the River Clyde one evening last week when the conversation turned to the issue of the nation’s impending independence referendum vote and how they felt about which way it should go. The talk became lively, with some wanting to know if they could vote before it was explained to them they were ineligible to vote.
