Five to show Liverpool v Celtic old boys
Following in the footsteps of Boris Johnson, Channel Five is to tempt more football legends back on to the pitch.
The broadcaster's first "Legends" tie, England v Germany in May, featured the Tory MP's infamous tackle that would have been more suited to a rugby pitch.
Now the network is to televise another match, featuring the former stars of Liverpool and Celtic.
The Liverpool v Celtic old boys' game will be broadcast on Five on October 4, hosted by Colin Murray, with Mark Chapman reporting from the touchline and commentary from John Helm and Joe Royle.
Former Liverpool and Celtic star Kenny Dalglish will be player manager of the English side, with ex-Celtic manager David Hay taking the same role for the Glasgow team.
The Liverpool side will feature former players including Ian Rush, Alan Hansen, Jan Molby, Mark Lawrenson, Peter Beardsley, Ray Houghton, John Wark, and Five football presenter John Barnes.
Turning out for Celtic will be Danny McGrain, Brian McClair, Mark McGhee, Mick McCarthy, Pat Bonner, Murdo MacLeod, Peter Grant, Andy Walker, Tom Boyd and Joe Miller.
Proceeds from the match will go to the Celtic Charity Fund, with among the beneficiaries the Marina Dalglish breast cancer appeal and charities nominated by the family of Celtic legend Jimmy Johnstone, who died earlier this year.
Legends: Liverpool v Celtic is being made by independent producer TWI, with Lawrence Duffy executive producing.
