Clydebank-born footballer John McGinn got the chance to greet Hollywood legend Tom Hanks as the actor arrived for McGinn's team's clash with Aston Villa.
Hanks, 66, shocked the footballing world in 2008 after declaring his love for the Villains ahead of the premiere of Charlie Wilson's War, which was held in London. A 15-year spell without visiting the famous relic has passed, although that has changed for the visit of title challengers Arsenal.
And, with 'super' John McGinn set to start on the right-hand side of midfield, the Scotland midfielder and Hanks posed for a photo in the dressing room beforehand in a wild turn of events, reports the Daily Record.

The talented midfielder was almost picked up by Celtic but when the club eventually decided to meet the £3 million valuation for the player, he had already decided on Aston Villa.
The actor, famous for his roles in Big, Forrest Gump, Toy Story and more, attended a Villa game when they played Portland Timbers in 2012, though that was only a short plane journey from his home in Los Angeles - at least in comparison to the trip to the English Midlands.
The former St Mirren player's side managed to defeat Hank's team, going 3-2 up before scoring another goal after goalie Emiliano Martinez left his net wide open and ran to support his team in taking a corner in the final minutes, leaving the final score at 4-2 to Arsenal.
