McAvennie was at swanky Mar Hall hotel for a golf day, while Minogue was staying there ahead of her show at the Hydro in Glasgow.
But it transpires that Macca and Kylie used to hang out together at Browns nightclub in London, even getting a lock-in from time to time alongside fellow regulars such as Duran Duran.
McAvennie was a key part of a fine West Ham side at the turn of the 90s, while Kylie was reeling off a string of hit records.
But their shared backstory was a diverting revelation on the latest Let Me Be Frank podcast, which has Celtic icon Tom Boyd as pre-Scottish Cup final guest.
Introducing the topic, host Simon Houston turned to Frank and said: "I feel like you are two-timing me!"
Boyd chipped in: "He's never done that before!"
Houston continued: "Anyone looking at the internet over the weekend would have seen you speaking to somebody else."
McAvennie said: "My wee pal Kylie!
"I had met her before.
"In the 90s, Browns nightclub.

"I met her a couple of times when we were all in there, staying behind, all the regulars. Duran Duran, it was great."
Mischievously Houston asks: "Did she stay behind especially for you?
"No, seriously, did she remember you?"
McAvennie replied: "No, she said she can't remember a lot about Browns the nightclub but she knows she was there a lot.
"I said I can't remember the 90s either! No, she was lovely."
Boyd chipped in again, saying: "I wish I should be so lucky."
McAvennie has said previously: "I only ever used to frequent a couple during my time in London: Stringfellow's and Browns."

‘Taking it too far' fume shoppers as they hit out at ‘Mrs Hinch mums' over Aldi toys – but not everyone agrees
Some people have defended the toys GREY MATTER 'Taking it too far' fume shoppers as they hit out at 'Mrs Hinch mums' over Aldi toys – but not everyone agrees Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT was the homeware trend that everyone seemed to fall in love with. Velvet sofas, 'Live laugh love' signs and grey EVERYWHERE - with many people citing cleaning guru Mrs Hinch as their home decor inspiration. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 An Aldi middle aisle buy has left shoppers divided Credit: Alamy 2 People have claimed the grey toys are 'utterly depressing' But shoppers have blasted the trend for going "too far" after spotting "super depressing" grey toys in Aldi. The 100-pack of ball pool balls is currently priced at £4.99 in the bargain supermarket, and is available in grey or pink. After seeing the middle aisle buy in her local store, one woman fumed: "Unless babies/toddlers are colour blind, I'm not sure why you'd make toys colourless? "Taking the grey aesthetic too far. Do toys clash with your living room scheme? Plain weird." Her post on the BARGAIN LOVERS - Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More Facebook group, which boasts 841,000 members, quickly racked up a flurry of comments. Many people appeared disappointed by the "utterly depressing" toys due to their lack of colour and hit out at parents for prioritising their interior aesthetic over colourful buys for the kids. One said: "My living room is black, white and grey, but all my girls toys are ALWAYS going to be colourful. It's not fair to deprive a baby of colours for your own aesthetic." "You buy toys for kids. I don't know many kids who'd prefer these boring balls", chimed in a second. A third fumed: "Very bland, like a lot of beige nurseries." A fourth claimed: "So many triggered beige baby mums. By the time they're old enough to be using a ball put properly they can see colour just fine, it's super depressing." Parents race to Lidl for middle aisle bargains including 2 in 1 sandpit for £29 "Yep, made totally to match decor not for child enrichment", added a fifth. Meanwhile a sixth echoed: "Agreed. Couldn't live in a grey and silver house. Find it utterly depressing." Other social media users, however, have defended the grey toys and insisted their colour doesn't ruin the fun. "Really not sure why it matters, kids will still play in amongst them no matter the colour", insisted one. A second wrote: "It's really not that deep, and a plastic ball is a plastic ball." A third suggested: "Too much colour can be overwhelming and overstimulating. Probably the same reason so many people choose the neutral tones to decorate also." Someone else admitted: "I'm not going to lie. I'm the parent that has bought this in the past because it goes with my living room. Not really ashamed of it either." "Maybe just me, but I'm sorry if it don't match my living room I ain't buying it", agreed a fifth. And a sixth echoed: "I got grey to match my house. Looked gorgeous in our home and it mattered to me that it looked nice because that's who I am. Let people do what they like without judgement maybe?"
