Glasgow chef Gordon Ramsay says city 'holds special place in heart' as he tours Ibrox

The final episode of Gordon Ramsay's Future Food Stars is set to air on our TV screens tonight with many tasks during the competition taking place in the east end of the city.

As well as touring the iconic Barras, the celebrity chef is set to bring his three Future Food Stars finalists - Amy Dalby, Andy Albalous, and Sam Pascal - to Ibrox, revealing the city 'holds a special place in his heart'.

The Michelin-starred chef shared a promo for Thursday night's final with Gordon saying: "I've invited my three finalists to meet me here in Glasgow. It holds a very special place in my heart.

"It's where I was born and where I started my career. But not as a chef, as a footballer." Gordon previously trialled with Rangers FC as a teenager, before bowing out after a knee injury to pursue a course on hotel management.

Sharing the video to Instagram, the 56-year-old wrote in the caption: "UK..Tonight I’m bringing my #FutureFoodStars to Glasgow for their final presentations….and it also looks like the old man still got it on the pitch."

The father of five is seen instructing Amy, Andy, and Sam on the details of their final tasks at Ibrox Stadium. Gordon tells the trio he "wants his finalists to create a new product and social media promo, which they will have to present at a launch event in Glasgow."

Paying homage to his home country, Gordon said: “This has been a fantastic series of Future Food Stars, and I truly believe this season's contenders pushed it up a notch to impress me with their creativity and with the future ambitions for their businesses.

He added: "The final three really deserved their place in the competition finale and each product and pitch had a moment where it could have been the winner.”

The show, which is on for an hour, will air on BBC One tonight (May 25) at 9pm.
