ONE thing Martin Compston is known for alongside being a TV megastar is his love for Celtic.
And he’ll be putting that on the line this summer as he takes on some Rangers heroes in a charity golf tournament.

And now he’ll be teeing it up alongside some famous football faces
The Line of Duty star has taken part in Soccer Aid before and was a keen footballer in his youth.
But he’ll be swapping football boots for golf clubs in July after signing up for Mar Hall’s charity golf day.
The prestigious venue, situated on the banks of the River Clyde near Glasgow, has been ranked among Scotland‘s top 100 courses since it was opened in 2010.
Gracing the fairways on July 25 this year alongside Compston will be former Gers stars Gordon Dalziel, Gordon Smith and Andy Little.
One of Celtic‘s all-time cult heroes, Frank McAvennie, is also signed up to play on the day.
Former Celtic and Partick Thistle striker Jim Melrose and King Arthur actor Craig McGinlay will tee it up on the championship course as well.
Punters are invited to join them with the money raised going to Ardgowan Hospice.
An article on Mar Hall’s website reads: “Join us for a memorable day of golf, great company, and giving back, set against the backdrop of Mar Hall’s championship course.
“Play alongside well-known personalities including Martin Compston, Gordon Smith, Jim Melrose, Andy Little, Craig McGinlay, Frank McAvennie, and Gordon Dalziel, as we come together to support the vital work of Ardgowan Hospice.
“This exclusive event promises not only a fantastic golfing experience but also warm hospitality, friendly competition, and the chance to make a real difference.”

The agenda for the day includes breakfast rolls, tea and coffee upon arrival at 11am followed by a two-course meal, raffle and sportsman’s dinner after the golf.
Rounds will start at 1pm and entry costs £600 per team (£150 per person for a fourball).
Ardgowan Hospice is located in Greenock, where Compston grew up.
It offers comprehensive support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, lung disease, kidney failure and neurological conditions.
