AMERICAN football is being celebrated in Whitecraig by a local restaurateur who is preparing to host live coverage for fans.

Enthusiasts can watch the 2021 National Football League (NFL) season at the award-winning Mercat Grill for the first time.

To celebrate the start of the season, an all-American Style ‘Tailgate BBQ’ party will be held this Sunday from 3.30pm, with matches later that day.

Graham Blaikie, owner of the Mercat Grill said: “We’ll be ready for kick-off at 6pm, when people can watch the games live in our fan zone, located in the protected area of our beer garden.”
