First gritter name of the year revealed

The first new gritter of the year is gearing up to hits the streets of Glasgow  - don't stop him now!

Spreddie Mercury joins the likes of Gritter Thunberg, David Plowie, Gritty Gritty Bang Bang and Plougher O'Scotland to become one of Scotland's gritters.

But just how will who manage to tell Spreddie from the other gritters? His moustache, of course.

AAAAAAAYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOO.

Scotland TranServ took to Twitter to announce the first gritter of the year.


That's why they call him Mister Fahrenheit!

Sorry...we'll stop now.
