MARTIN Compston will be lacing up his football boots again after announcing that he will be returning to Soccer Aid for a fifth time.
The Line of Duty star made the announcement on Twitter saying he was “buzzing” to be involved in the charity match at the London Stadium.
The event will pit two teams of celebrities against each other, with one being all English and the other from the rest of the world.
Compston tweeted: “Buzzing to be back let’s have it @socceraid @UNICEF_uk”

In the social media clip, Compston says: "The Wee Scotsman is back and I'm pulling on the world eleven shirt once again! And I can't wait."
The film star is also a former professional footballer himself, having played for Greenock Morton FC for a brief spell in the early 2000s.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
