Celtic legend and Iron Maiden star enjoy pints at Glasgow bar as pair pose for pic

Staff at one of Glasgow's most popular pubs were delighted to have not one but two legendary names pop in recently for a pint.

Not only did local football favourite Frank McAvennie make an appearance at the Pot Still, but joining him to pose for photos with staff behind the bar was Iron Maiden star Steve Harris.

The famous bassist, who was in town to play a blistering show at the Hydro on Monday night with the iconic rock band, popped in for a pint of Guinness after a huge performance.

And Celtic legend Frank, who also used to play for Steve's favourite club, West Ham, was only happy to join him.

The pair were snapped enjoying a pint as they posed with the full team at the whisky bar on Hope Street.

One of the staff working that night, Dave Law, was excited when he recognised the pair, quickly phoning pub owner Frank Murphy to come down to meet them. According to Dave, the duo had become friends thanks to Steve's love of the Hammers.

He said: "It was crazy, there was a huge amount of Maiden fans in the pub before the gig, but you never expect to see an actual member of the band and music legend walk in.

"It was really cool to see them together, but not a pairing I would have expected. It just goes to show you never know who is going to walk through that door.

"To see Steve Harris enjoying a pint of Guinness with Frank McAvennie was probably the best end to a shift I've ever had."

Proudly sharing the photo on their Instagram page, owner Frank Murphy posted: "When the team thought getting a photo with a music LEGEND was the highlight of the week, then Scotland's foremost ornithologist joins the throng..."

It's not the only famous face who has popped in recently, with Neighbours star Ryan Moloney, who plays Toadfish Rebecki in the hit show, also enjoying a dram in the bar back in March.
