Message from Tony Sharkey, CEO of the Football Transfer Forum

"The 15th edition of the Football Transfer Forum (FTF15) will be our first visit to bonny Scotland. You take the high road and I'll take the low... and all that.

It's at Hampden Park, Glasgow. Yes Hampden - Scotland's National Stadium.

We're going to have a great, action packed day there. We are aiming to get representatives from all Scottish Premiership and Championship Clubs and Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) Clubs to come along to FTF15.

FTF15 will feature the usual high-quality guest speakers and networking plus a tie in with Partick Thistle's last match of the regular season on the evening and networking drinks into the wee (small) hours in central Glasgow.

We hope you can join us."
