Pigeons 'playing football' in Glasgow city centre struggle to score goal

A shopper visiting the city centre was astounded to see a group of pigeons battling it out against each other on a make shift miniature football pitch.

After a mystery man drew an outline of the pitch on the ground, at Cochrane Street, and left two goal nets on each side of the playing field, at least four pigeons went head to head in a battle to get hold of the ball - which is said to have been filled with bird seeds. Passer-by Liz McNay captured the tense moment on Wednesday as neither one of the pigeons managed to net a goal. The clip shows one pigeon moving the ball with its beak while the others gather around scavanging for food.READ MORE: Glasgow set for a scorcher as weekend temperatures soar to 22C in the cityLiz told Glasgow Live: "A guy had set up the pitch and has put bird seeds in the ball.
