On Monday evening, we were alerted to disappointing news, Stewart Todd posted a picture and a headline on Twitter:

'Seriously, what is wrong with folk? Why would anyone do this?? @Hampdeners

The picture revealed our world famous #1stHampdenMural, showcasing the world's first purposefully built international football stadium and one of Scotland's greatest victories, had been seriously vandalised.

There has been a huge amount of hard work gone in to researching, designing, planning and producing this mural not to mention the help received from so many wonderful people from far and wide that contributed to realise the dream, which was completed in September 2019.#1stHampdenMural

This mural belongs to everyone, all those involved in creating it, to the local community, to Glasgow, to Scotland and to the amazing sporting history of this site.

This new crowdfunding page has been setup to raise money for the restoration and fund security measures that will better protect the mural from vandals. In truth the more money we raise the better protected it will and your support will bring it back to its original best.
