Flick-off for table football fans
Top Subbuteo table football players from around the world are coming to Edinburgh to play a major international tournament.
It may be small-scale but they are big on talent.
Top teams and players from Denmark, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Italy and Spain will be taking part.
There will also be teams from Scotland, England and Wales.
The team ranked number one in the world, TFC Mattersburg, and the losing finalists of the "Subbuteo Champions League", Real Murcia C.F, will also take part.
Scottish Sports Table Football Association president Mike Burns said: "Three of the top five teams in the world are coming.
"It is probably the highest standard of tournament we have had in Scotland."
