Dougray Scott presents a new football documentary which celebrates Scotland's influence on how the game is played.

Now a new documentary will explore the long-lasting influence of the Queen's Park side of the 1870s, as well as other footballing trailblazers from Scotland.

Famously, the first ever Scotland team that took the field on 30 November 1872 at the West of Scotland Cricket Ground in Glasgow was comprised of players from the Spiders, and the way they played had enormous repercussions for the sport. But the documentary will also show the influence they had off the pitch, with the original Hampden Park providing a model for how fans could watch the sport.

However the influence of Scots did not just extend throughout Britain, but across the globe, from Burma and Canada to modern global giants such as Brazil and Argentina.
