FOOTBALL legends Sir Alex Ferguson and Lilian Thuram are among a host of stars who have sent well-wishes to the University of Stirling football team ahead of a cup tie this weekend.
Stirling is the first university team to make it to the last 32 of the Scottish Cup in over 50 years, as they encounter Dundee United at Tannadice on Saturday.
The former Manchester United manager and French world cup winner were joined by Olympic curling champion Eve Muirhead, Commonwealth Games medalist Ross Murdoch, tennis trailblazer and Andy Murray's mother Judy Murray, and musician and broadcaster Dougie Vipond in wishing the boys good luck ahead of the fourth-round match.
