And now he’ll be teeing it up alongside some famous football faces<\/p>\n

The Line of Duty<\/a> star has taken part in Soccer Aid<\/a> before and was a keen footballer in his youth.<\/p>\n

But he’ll be swapping football<\/a> boots for golf clubs in July after signing up for Mar Hall’s charity golf day.<\/p>\n

The prestigious venue, situated on the banks of the River Clyde near Glasgow<\/a>, has been ranked among Scotland<\/a>‘s top 100 courses since it was opened in 2010.<\/p>\n

Gracing the fairways on July 25 this year alongside Compston<\/a> will be former Gers stars Gordon Dalziel, Gordon Smith and Andy Little.<\/p>\n

One of Celtic<\/a>‘s all-time cult heroes, Frank McAvennie<\/a>, is also signed up to play on the day.<\/p>\n

Former Celtic and Partick Thistle<\/a> striker Jim Melrose and King Arthur actor Craig McGinlay will tee it up on the championship course as well.<\/p>\n

Punters are invited to join them with the money raised going to Ardgowan Hospice.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s championship course.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/p>\n

“This exclusive event promises not only a fantastic golfing experience but also warm hospitality, friendly competition, and the chance to make a real difference.”<\/p>\n

Martin Compston reveals reason why he wears an elastic band on his finger instead of his wedding ring<\/p>\n

The agenda for the day includes breakfast rolls, tea and coffee\u00a0upon arrival at 11am followed by a two-course meal, raffle and sportsman’s dinner after the golf.<\/p>\n

Rounds will start at 1pm and entry costs \u00a3600 per team (\u00a3150 per person for a fourball).<\/p>\n

Ardgowan Hospice is located in Greenock, where Compston grew up.<\/p>\n

It offers comprehensive support to individuals with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer, heart failure, lung disease, kidney failure and neurological conditions.<\/p>\n
