The Dave Mackay Testimonial match between St Johnstone and Dundee will feature legends from both clubs.
Rival managers Tommy Wright and Neil McCann, who go head to head in the top flight derby this weekend at Dens Park, have agreed to allow veterans to pull on the boots for the final half-hour of the McDiarmid Park game on Friday, October 6.
The testimonial committee is working up a final list of former players keen to make an appearance and honour the former Perth captain and one-time Dark Blues defender.
Chairman Scott Findlay said: “We are pleased to announce the game is being sponsored by Booker and Kilmac with both company names featuring on the shirts being supplied by TTL Sport.
“We are looking to follow up on the success of the recent sell-out testimonial dinner at the Dewars Centre. It is an opportunity for fans to honour their Scottish Cup winning captain, who was denied a chance to bid a proper farewell because of injury.
“We have been delighted by the number of former players from both teams keen to participate. It should be a great night.”
Admission to the game, kick-off 7.30pm, will be £15 and £5 concessions (U16s and seniors). A limited number of hospitality packages are available at £55 a head, including three course meal, souvenir programme and half-time tea and biscuits.
