It's for a cause close to the actor's heart IN THE SWING Huge TV star signs up for golf tournament alongside Rangers and Celtic cult heroes at prestigious Scots course ONE thing Martin Compston is known for alongside being a TV megastar is his love for Celtic.

But he'll be swapping football boots for golf clubs in July after signing up for Mar Hall's charity golf day. The prestigious venue, situated on the banks of the River Clyde near Glasgow, has been ranked among Scotland's top 100 courses since it was opened in 2010. Gracing the fairways on July 25 this year alongside Compston will be former Gers stars Gordon Dalziel, Gordon Smith and Andy Little.

Former Celtic and Partick Thistle striker Jim Melrose and King Arthur actor Craig McGinlay will tee it up on the championship course as well. Punters are invited to join them with the money raised going to Ardgowan Hospice.

"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.

Martin Compston gears up for Celtic trophy day celebrations as Line of Duty star dons Hoops and takes a dip in the Clyde
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LINE of Duty star Martin Compston is gearing himself up for a big day of title celebrations. The Celtic-daft actor, who was seen partying with the players after December's League Cup win, has taken to social media ahead of the trophy day match against St Mirren. 2 He was wearing slightly different hoops last night Credit: Instagram / mrmartincompston 2 He took an early morning trophy day dip Credit: Instagram / mrmartincompston The league title will be brought out at Parkhead today while supporters prepare to fill the city in honour of their fourth consecutive run out as Premiership champions. Last night, Compston posted a photo on his Instagram story of him in the green and white hoops, but it wasn't a shirt of his beloved club. The jersey was of Eriskay FC, a team from the small Outer Hebridean island who are on a recruitment drive as they struggle to maintain a full squad. The celeb has showed his support for them before by playing for them in a one-off against Iochdar Saints, wearing number 12 as a nod to the AC-12 crime unit from his popular show. The island club commented on his photo: "Our mate Martin looking class in his new EFC home top." Then early this morning he was seen partaking in interesting pre-match preperations. The Greenock-born man took a snap of himself taking a dip in the River Clyde with a caption referencing the Celts' 55th league title. Their game kicks off at 12:30pm today as does Hibernian vs Rangers and Dundee United vs Aberdeen in the league's final weekend. Just a couple of months ago, Compston joked he would ban his San Francisco 49ers supporting father-in-law from his home if and when the Gers takeover became official, which is yet to happen. But the fan of the treble-chasing team didn't seem too worried, saying: "It's a great time to be a Celtic fan. Line of Duty star Martin Compston parties with Celtic players in dressing room after treble win "I was born in '84 so grew up in the 90s and it was dark times for us. "People always ask me if I get bored of winning. Not at all. "Long may it continue." The bottom half of the split comes to a conclusion and with that the league campaign curtain closes tomorrow. Then next weekend it's just the small matter of Celtic and Aberdeen contesting a Scottish Cup final, where the favourites will be without star Reo Hatate due to injury.

Line of Duty's Martin Compston joins ITV's most unmissable tense 2024 drama, see first look of new season
Last year, Red Eye was hands down one of our favourite shows and now it's just been confirmed Line of Duty's Martin Compston will be heading up the cast for season two. Released in April 2024, the dramatic ITV thriller saw Richard Armitage star as Dr Matthew Nolan, a British expat who is extradited back to China on murder charges. The majority of the series takes place on a plane, with Detective Hana Li (Jing Lusi) brought onto the plane to oversee Nolan's transfer. Despite a somewhat happy ending, Richard Armitage won't be back for another season, instead we'll see Compston working alongside Detective Li in a yet undisclosed role. While we don't know too much about his character yet, we have had a first look image released. In the image Compston stands side by side with Lusi, and he's wearing a black coat over grey trousers and a white shirt. The image was shared on ITV's Instagram and is captioned: "Sneak peek of Red Eye series 2 🎬. Jing Lusi is back, joined by Martin Compston to solve a new high-stakes conspiracy ✈️." See the image here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by ITV (@itv) While the photo doesn't give much away about his role it does appear he'll be working alongside Detective Li to solve the new conspiracy. And it's safe to say fans are very happy to see Martin be involved in the second season, with one Instagram commenter writing: "Yay, loved the first series. Even better Martin's in the next one!" While another said: "Oh interesting 🤔 looking forward to seeing 👀 Red 👁." And another added: "The first series was great can't wait for the next series specially with Martin Compston 🔥." Though Richard Armitage isn't set to return, the rest of the main cast including Lesley Sharp as Madeline Delaney and Jemma Moore as Jess Li, Hana's sister and a journalist are making a comeback. As for the release date, the series is currently in production so we'll be waiting a while to see it on our screens.
