Former footballer Ally McCoist bowled over fans as he took to a Fife beach for a game of cricket.
The former Rangers star and TV pundit played wicketkeeper for Kilmacolm as they took on The Ship Inn Cricket Club in Elie.
Avid cricket fan McCoist represented the west coast team as beach cricket season got underway on Saturday.
The Ship Inn is the only pub in Britain with its own cricket team that plays on the beach.
Graham Bucknall, co-owner of The Ship Inn, said McCoist had promised some “secret weapons” ahead of the match.
He said: “The Kilmacolm team were ably bolstered by their wicketkeeper Ally McCoist, who is always a wonderful addition to their team.
“The Ship have played Kilmacolm for each of the past nine seasons and have won each time.
“Ally promised some secret weapons to ensure a Kilmacolm win.”
Although McCoist captured four wickets during the clash, The Ship Inn Cricket Club were triumphant on the day as scores of fans watched on.
The former Scotland international later hosted a charity auction on behalf of the My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
McCoist was great friends with Doddie Weir and has taken part in a number of fundraisers for the charity, which was set up by the late Scotland rugby star in 2017 following his diagnosis with MND.
