Cates is the eldest of the Liverpool legend's four daughters, and has previously presented for Scotland's World Cup exploits.

Joining her as pundit are three ex-professionals, with one also being of Liverpool (cult) legend.

The first is Rachel Corsie, a former Scotland international who was awarded 155 caps for her nation, scoring 20 goals in the process.

Next up is Scott Brown, ex-Celtic and Scotland captain, who played 55 times in front of the Tartan Army, bagging four goals.

Finally, ex-Liverpool man and Brazil international Lucas Leiva will offer his punditry services, a cult icon on Merseyside remembered fondly for his wayward shot attempt that made Jurgen Klopp burst into laughter.

Serving as the main voice for the event is native Scot Liam McLeod, who described it as a "huge honour" to offer his services for the tournament in covering Scotland matches.

In support will be James McFadden as co-commentator, who was capped 48 times for Scotland, scoring 15 goals, over an eight year international career at first team-level.
