Description
One hundred and fifty years after it was first contested, photographer Alan McCredie and writer Daniel Gray spent the 2023/24 football season seeking out the charms of the modern Scottish Cup. Travelling to matches from hamlet to Hampden, they found them in abundance. Blending McCredie's captivating pictures and Gray's lyrical words, Cup Tied is an enchanting celebration of our national game. The book captures small town teams as their communities are lured by the Cup's everlasting pull. Cup Tied is an elegant voyage among giantkillers and cup runs and weekend plans sparked by the words: 'And that concludes the draw...' In the mould of McCredie and Gray's hugely successful book Snapshot, it is a football documentary in print.
