The film follows fictional second-tier Scottish outfit Kilnockie FC, managed by Gordon McLeod (Duvall) with Jackie McQuillan (McCoist) their star striker.

Look away now, Rangers fans: McQuillan is a former Celtic legend who has just signed from Arsenal at the back end of his career and is married to McLeod’s daughter.

The two men don’t always see eye to eye, but bigger things are at stake as they try to prevent the club’s American owner (Michael Keaton) from moving the team to Dublin.

It builds towards a climactic Scottish Cup Final, Kilnockie’s first-ever, against Rangers, managed by Martin Smith (Brian Cox).

The keen-eyed will notice one of the Kilnockie men is played by none other than former Bolton Wanderers and Burnley boss Owen Coyle.
