Storyline

Gordon McCloud is the manager of a second tier Scottish football team. Faced with pressure from his American owner, he is forced to bring on a marquee player to improve the fortunes of the team and prevents its being moved from the fiercely loyal town it's been for a century. Along the way, McLeod must battle his own demons, including long-standing tiffs with both his daughter and a former colleague who betrayed him. Written by Chris Neuman

Trivia

Ally McCoist wanted the team to win at the end of the film to be Rangers and not Celtic, to make Rangers look the better side, in doing so, the script changed the teams around, making his part in the film that of a former Celtic player, which he also wasn't happy about. See more »
