Campbell to face Levein in half-time shoot-out showdown

FOOTBALL icons Dick Campbell and Craig Levein are set to go head-to-head in a unique spectacle at Glebe Park this weekend.

Brechin City host Angus neighbours Arbroath in the first pre-season fixture of the summer.

While there will be interest in the two sides on the pitch for the 2pm kick off, the real entertainment could be saved for half-time.

Lichties boss Campbell and City adviser Levein will battle it out in a penalty shoot-out during the break.

The best of five contest will be fought out with Brechin goalkeeping coach Iain Ross in between the sticks.

The half-time competition won’t be the only entertainment provided by the former Scotland boss and the Arbroath gaffer.

Both will tell tales from their careers during a prematch hospitality function.

Kevin Mackie thanked the pair for being good sports.

“I’m really looking forward to the game,” he said.

“Arbroath had a fantastic season last campaign and we look forward to welcoming Dick and his players to Glebe Park.

“We thought the penalty shoot-out would be a fun event at half-time.

“I’m sure Craig and Dick will provide great entertainment.

“Both are hosting our prematch hospitality at the Northern Hotel, so I can’t thank them enough for helping to create a great day of entertainment.”

Brechin v Arbroath kicks off at the slightly unusual time of 2pm on Saturday June 25.

Entry to the game costs £10 for adults, while concessions at £5. Only cash turnstiles will be in operation.

Brechin season ticket holders can gain access for free.
