SCOTTISH rugby legends dusted off their boots at the weekend to roll back the years as they took part in a charity match in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT).
Former internationalists Gregor Townsend, Scott Hastings and Craig Chalmers were among the stars to take to the field for a benefit match played at the Royal High School in the city yesterday.
A Scotland Legends team faced a TCT side managed by 18-year-old Kyle McPherson, who was diagnosed with cancer when he was just 15 and underwent chemotherapy for six months at the Western General Hospital.
The legends were bossed by ex-Scotland full-back Rowen Shepherd and captained by one-time record cap holder Hastings.
A bumper crowd turned out for the thrilling fixture and the family fun day also included food, magicians, pipe bands, raffles and discounted sports massages.
TCT is a charity which is dedicated to raising money to help improve the lives of young cancer sufferers.
