EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting captures the spirit of a weary Scottish football fan as he dozes off on a railway sleeper at Euston Station, awaiting his return train back north of the border. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling railway station, with signs and posters advertising upcoming matches and the occasional tartan kilt visible among the crowd. The fan, dressed in the colors of his favorite team and clutching a bottle of whiskey, appears to be in a state of happy exhaustion, his rosette and flag lying nearby. The historical significance of the railway sleeper as a symbol of transportation and connection between Scotland and England is not lost on the viewer, as the fan's nodding head and slumped body speak to the long journey ahead. The empty platform, with its standard-gauge rails stretching off into the distance, adds to the sense of anticipation and the promise of a well-deserved rest. Despite the fan's apparent drunkenness, there is a sense of contentment and pride in his expression, as if he is basking in the glory of his team's performance at Wembley or some other international fixture. The painting, by Malcolm Greensmith, is a poignant reminder of the rich history and traditions of Scottish football and the enduring bond between fans and their teams, even in the face of long journeys and late nights.
