US SOCCER pin-up (seriously…) Alex Morgan has revealed she is looking for tips on Scottish history.
The striker is in Glasgow to take part in the women’s Olympic football matches at Hampden.
As she relaxed at the US squad’s base at the Hilton yesterday, she said: “It’s very nice to be here. The accents are very strong but the people seem really nice. We should be here for about 10 or 11 days, so hopefully we will get the chance to explore a bit
“I’ve heard about Buchanan Street and George Square and that there are some nice shopping areas there – I am a girl and I like my shopping after all.
“But I would really like to find out more about the history, so I’m up for any recommendations as to what I should try to see.”
Californian Alex, 23, has a huge profile back in the US thanks in no small way to a series of racy modelling shoots – including one in a sprayed-on paint “bikini”.
She said: “All the appearances and photoshoots and so on are fun to do but my main priority is to be focused on the team and training.
“We are looking forward to the Olympics and to doing as well as we possibly can.”
Alex also posed for fun photos wearing a party hat with a family group having afternoon tea in the Hilton. June Atherton was enjoying a 76th birthday treat with sisters Doreen and Christine and daughter Susan.
June, of Lancashire, said: “The young lady was asking about our hats and asked to have her picture taken with us. She was very pleasant.”
Alex’s team-mate Christie Rampone, 37, whose great-grandfather William Downie played for Raith Rovers a century ago, is also loving being in Scotland.
She said: “It’s great to be here. I knew I had a lot of Scots in my background but I hadn’t been here until last year. I’m looking forward to finding out more about it all in the future.”
The US play their first game against France at Hampden on Wednesday.
