BARCELONA'S football roadshow kicks off at a West Lothian shopping centre ahead of the Catalan giants' two pre-season games in Edinburgh and Dundee.
Almondvale Shopping Centre will host the club's football roadshow event today before the team arrives to take on Hibernian and Dundee United.
At the one-off event in the Livingston mall, which takes place between 11am and 4pm, five pairs of tickets for both of the big matches will be up for grabs along with a competition to find the matchday mascot for the two games.
World Record keepie-uppy champion Graeme Lightbody is also set to attend to entertain shoppers.
The event is set to kick off a tour of Scottish cities in the run up to the big games, including several more appearances in the Capital.
Jennifer Bruce, marketing manager for Almondvale Shopping Centre: "People in West Lothian are very passionate about football so it makes sense to bring an event like this to our visitors especially when we are looking at such a world famous side."
FC Barcelona will play against Hibs on July 24 at Murrayfield.
