Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson and Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers joined other sporting names and celebrities at a fundraising dinner on Thursday.
Ferguson and Rodgers were joined by the likes of comedian and Liverpool fan John Bishop, Sir Tom Hunter and Greg McHugh for the Street Soccer Scotland fundraising event in Glasgow.
And on Thursday, Ferguson was quick to praise the Scottish football charity for its work on mental and physical health.

The charity provides a range of football-related personal development and training programmes for people tackling issues with addiction, unemployment and homelessness across Scotland.
And the 75-year-old said: 'Football touches the lives of many people - and while I've had the privilege of experiencing it on its highest stage, I know all about the positive impact it can have at every level.
'The work Street Soccer Scotland delivers across Scotland every day shows improvements to the physical and mental health of those playing, and that is something that must be encouraged, supported and embraced by everyone.'
Footballing duo Ferguson and Rodgers have clearly put their former United and Liverpool rivalry behind them as they were seen posing for photos together at the fundraising dinner on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill also joined Ferguson and Rodgers as the trio were snapped holding up a shirt, alongside David Duke, founder and CEO of the charity, that read 'Positive change through football.'
