Representatives of Airdrieonians Supporters' Trust got their Mongolian expedition underway with a football match - but the less said about the result the better! 

​

The Trust members have travelled to Mongolia to build "gers" (traditional Mongolian huts) for homeless families, and are keen to spread the Airdrie football word while they're at it. 

​

Participating in the inaugural Glengoyne Cup, the Trust took on a representative side of the current Mongolian national champions, Khoromhon. The match, played at the national arena and officiated by a team of FIFA qualified match officials, was devised to promote links between Mongolian and Scottish football. 

​

Held on British Fair Day in the Mongolian capital Ulaan Baatar, the tie ended disastrously for the Trust boys as they went down 11-3 to Khoromhon. 

​

British Ambassador Catherine Arnold presented the Trust team and match sponsors Glengoyne with a plaque to celebrate the historic occasion. 

​

The intrepid Trust members now continue on their Asian adventure hoping that the first team will fare a little better on Saturday. Well done, lads!
