Shotlist: Scotland 1974. Scotland's World Cup football squad have dreams of sporting glory in their sight, under the reign of Billy Bremner. After being All Over Brazil in their first match, all the national team has to do is beat Yugoslavia to make it through to the all-important knock-out rounds. But not everyone is obsessed with the beautiful game. In suburban Glasgow, 13-year-old Stephen is keener on seeing his favourite glam rock band in concert than following the progress of Scotland's World Cup football squad. However, Stephen's football fanatic father, Charley, isn't about to let "nancy boy music" turn his son's head away from sporting glory. Soon Stephen's hopes of following his glam rock idols appear to be dashed after his father catches him in his sister Donna's gold platform boots and full glam make-up. Meanwhile Charley struggles to come to terms with the loss of his wife and doesn't take kindly to Stephen's attempts at emotional blackmail. Desperate to go to a local glam rock gig performed by his idols Slade, Stephen decides to pull on his platform shoes, get glammed up and go to the gig against his father's wishes. Stephen is played by Iain de Caestecker, Charley by Frank Gallagher and Donna by Gemma Morrison.
