Hoops hero Andy Walker and ex-Premier League striker John McGinlay will join former pro Martin Johnston, who is living with MND, tomorrow.

The trio will walk from Motherwell’s Fir Park to Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh - visiting 21 football grounds along the way of the three-day challenge.

The event was inspired by footballers Marcus Stewart and Stephen Darby, both diagnosed with MND, and held in memory of rugby legend Doddie Weir OBE, who died with the disease in 2022.

The team hopes to raise £50,000 to be shared between the Darby Rimmer MND Foundation and My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.
