Peter Martin introduces Heat One of the Ramsdens Soccer Stars competition held at the Aberdeen Sports Village on Sunday 10th March.

Ramsdens Cup TV can also be viewed on most mobile devices.

All 30 SFL clubs as well as a player from Inverurie Loco Works and Wick Academy who played in the first round of this season’s Ramsdens Cup have selected a player to represent their club in the ‘Ramsdens Soccer Stars’ programme at one of three regional heats.

Points will be awarded according to performance and the highest scoring players from each heat will be invited to participate at the Ramsdens Soccer Stars Final at Scotstoun Leisure Centre in Glasgow just 4 days before Partick Thistle take on Queen of the South in the Ramsdens Cup Final on Sunday, April 7.
