TWO surprise fans rocked up to take in a game in Scottish football’s NINTH tier today – one of whom is an internet sensation and the other is a former Love Island star.
We’ve already seen some big names drop down the leagues with the likes of Kyle Lafferty and Graham Dorrans signing for Johnstone Burgh.

But two famous faces were watching rather than taking part this weekend.
Port Glasgow Juniors welcomed the Wealdstone Raider and Calum Best to Parklea for their West of Scotland League Third Division clash against Threave Rovers on Saturday afternoon.
Threave won the game 3-0 but supporters of the home side would’ve at least had a chance to meet the special guests.
Best was a star on Celebrity Love Island back in the original run in the mid-noughties, winning the competition.

He also entered Celebrity Big Brother twice and Celebrity Ex on the Beach.
Best, 43, is the only son of Manchester United legend George Best.
He is also chairman of Dorking Wanderers women and a patron of Nacoa (the National Association for Children of Alcoholics), a British charity providing support to children affected by a parent‘s drinking.
The Wealdstone Raider, real name Gordon Parmar Hill, was a viral hit in 2014 after video footage of him heckling opposing supporters at a non-league game in England began circulating online.
A builder and roofer by trade, the 58-year-old subsequently became an internet meme and amassed a large social media following.
He was spotted alongside Best posing for a picture inside the Parklea clubhouse.
Port Glasgow posted the image on Twitter (now X.com) with the caption: “Today’s special guests.”
They followed it up with a mention to Best’s account, saying: “@CalumBest great to have you as a guest of the club. Welcome back anytime.”
Punters couldn’t believe what they were seeing on social media.
One wrote: “This has to go down as the most random set of folk together at the most randomest game about.”
Another said: “Again, Scottish football is unrivalled at any level in its pyramid.”
A third punter said: “This needs context!”
That prompted a reply from Port, who said both are big fans of the club.
They said: “Big supporters of the Undertakers (the club’s nickname). Come on down some time, you will leave as a huge fan.”
