When we started Nutmeg, we didn’t know if it would last five minutes, five issues or five years.
Issue 21 marks that latter milestone, and our heartfelt thanks go to all readers – whether first-time or full-shelf – and our array of writers, illustrators and photographers.

Remembering Ralph
Prodigiously talented, hard-drinking, headstrong, self-deprecating: Ralph Milne was many things. Above all, he was great company.

📢 Announcing a Nutmeg/Herald Euros special edition.
🏴🇩🇪 Stories to put you in the mood for our German summer...
📖 Published in April, it shall be a marvellous thing.
Beloved football periodical Nutmeg is teaming up with The Herald to produce a near 200 page Euro 2024 special edition ahead of the summer tournament in Germany. 👇 Full story
I have this morning ended my lifelong support of
@RaithRovers
over their signing of the rapist David Goodwillie. I have cancelled next season’s shirt sponsorship over this disgusting and despicable move. This shatters any claim to be a community or family club. 1/2
'The very act of going to a game matters tremendously. It matters to your routine, identity and equilibrium, and it matters to the routine, identity and equilibrium of so many thousands of others.'
Words from our new book, Snapshot.

Thanks to all the contributors for making it what it is and our subscribers for sticking with us through very trying times
Nutmeg issue 14 is almost ready to be sent to the mailing house.
Thanks to the guys at Bell & Bain in Glasgow for their help and for this Goodfellas-like panning shot that Martin Scorsese would have been proud of.
