Nine-year-old Ronan is passionate about all things refereeing, having honed his skills with a whistle on the playground. Thanks to our friends at Specsavers and a very special guest, we surprised him with a dream Scottish Gas Scottish Gas Scottish Cup invite. #GetOutsideGetInvolved

You can find out more about Ronan's story, and his surprise day out at Hampden Park below ⤵️ ➡️ Read here:

@Specsavers @ScottishCup He’s a bit young to join a lodge surely?

@Specsavers @ScottishCup Absolutely brilliant Ronan and a decent young lad too. Things like this should 100% be encouraged. Refs drive us all nuts, but there's no game without them.

@Specsavers @ScottishCup We have a future traffic warden in the making. Or community police 'Officer'

@Specsavers @ScottishCup Great story, hopefully an inspiration to other youngsters out there. Game needs a greater number of referees coming through at all levels.

@Specsavers @ScottishCup Well done to Ronan & all involved…a bit of advice to any young kid wanting to be a referee is to join in playing as well to get a better understanding of the game because players always say referees know the laws but not the game…onwards and upwards Ronan

@Specsavers @ScottishCup Well done, Ronan. Great, wee guy. 👏

@Specsavers @ScottishCup Superb young man 👏👏👏

@Specsavers @ScottishCup Wee mans getting bullied out the lodge for this

@Specsavers @ScottishCup Ronan will make it to the peak of his career. The passion is so strong
