Ever dreamed of scoring a goal at Hampden? Well now is your chance...
Two Scottish coaching legends will go head-to-head on their return to the pitch - and they are looking for Glaswegians to join their team.
Craig Brown, the last men’s national coach to lead Scotland to a World Cup, and Archie Knox, his former international and club No.2, are heading back to the national stadium to manage opposing sides in a fundraising match at Hampden Park on Friday, June 14.
The day is in aid of two Scottish children’s charities Children 1 st and the Tartan Army Children’s Charity.
The nominated charities are giving 44 players, male and female, the opportunity to play on the hallowed Hampden turf. As well as receiving expert coaching, the players will also be joined by famous former men’s and women’s international players.
To take part in the once-in-a-lifetime match, supporters can secure one of 33 spots by making a one-off donation of £350 – which will be split equally between the charities - or donate £10 to enter a prize draw to win one of 11 places in each team. Every player is guaranteed playing time on the pitch.
The coaching greats are encouraging fans to dig deep. Craig Brown, said: “Hampden has a wonderful magic about it and every football fan dreams of playing on the pitch.
"Some of the world’s greatest footballing names, including some of our very own Scotland legends, have created unforgettable memories and those fans who will be supporting two great children’s charities will get to do likewise.”
Archie Knox added: “Children 1 st and the Tartan Army Children’s Charity do hugely important work in helping children overcome adversity. This is a great cause and I’d urge any football fan to get behind it. Together we’ll be able to raise plenty of funds for both charities and play some great football at the same time.”
As well as experiencing the full play-on-the-pitch experience, players will have the chance to enjoy the full Hampden experience: keeping your very own full national team kit, visiting the famed, Hampden Museum, changing in the Home and Away dressing rooms and walking out on to the fieldto the famous Hampden Roar.
