Glasgow is unlike any other city in Scotland. Its size, grit, and intensity create a marketplace for used socks that Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and Dundee cannot match. The Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers is one of the most passionate in world football, and that energy extends throughout the city's grassroots football scene. Sunday league pitches, five-a-side centres, and training grounds across Glasgow produce a constant flow of well-worn football socks that buyers across the UK actively seek out. Glasgow also has more gym memberships per capita than any other Scottish city. From budget chains on Sauchiehall Street to independent strength and conditioning studios in Finnieston, Glaswegians take fitness seriously. The SEC and Hydro arena area has brought new development and new residents to the Clyde waterfront, expanding the city's active population further. Three major universities, the University of Glasgow, Strathclyde, and Glasgow Caledonian, bring over 70,000 students into the city.
