The matches have also been supported by a host of Scottish legends, with the likes of Danny McGrain, Paul Lambert, Scott Booth, Gary McCallister, Pat Nevin, and many more all lending their valuable support in recent years, by playing alongside or managing the supporters in the hugely enjoyable matches at Hampden Park.
