A popular Glasgow bar has changed its name in celebration of the World Cup.
Bosses at West End pub Chinaski's have decided to "have a little fun" during the competition in Qatar and have renamed the venue Sualdo.
The pub took to social media last week to announce the renaming.
The decision comes as part of Scotland's absence from the international competition and the pub's desire to support somebody.
Fergus McVicar, owner of Chinaski's, told the Glasgow Times: "As Scotland aren’t in the World Cup, we just wanted to support somebody, and Spain felt like a good match.
"I’ve spent a lot of time in Spain. I am a massive fan of the food, beer, wine, culture and most importantly their attitude."
The major change also stems not only from Fergus's love of Spain, but from a successful project ran by Chinaski's at the last World Cup.
Fergus said: "During the last World Cup, we opened a pop-up called Sualdos, in the old Black Sparrow.
"It was during the summer months, and we had lots of fun doing this, and ended up extended how long we ran it.
"So, we're tipping our hat to our previous World Cup pop-up."
The pub will be showing every World Cup game and will be serving a range of Spanish food and drink.
The line-up includes Estrella, tapas, sangria and some Spanish wines.
Fergus added: "The World Cup is fun, so we hoped to create a fun atmosphere and enjoy the game."
You can find the pub at 239 North Street in Glasgow's West End.
