Watch as a Still Game star belts out a song popular with Celtic fans in honour of his 92nd birthday.
James Martin, who played fan favourite Auld Eric in the BBC Scotland series, was filmed singing the Irish folk song The Fields of Athenry alongside his former co-star Paul Riley, better known as Winston Ingram.
The song is often performed by Celtic fans as well as fans of the Ireland national football team.
It comes after Glasgow-born James - who was notably the only cast member to be close in age to the character he portrayed - celebrated his 92nd birthday on March 13.

Fans were loving the clip, which Paul shared on his TikTok page, with one saying: "Happy birthday James Martin still a legend."
Another made a Still Game reference with the comment: "Some chanter Eric, some chanter!"
A third said: "Never thought I'd see Winston and Eric singing The Fields of Athenry."
