COMEDIAN Matt Lucas presented Episode 6 of Fantasy Football League last week wearing a Gala Fairydean Rovers away top.
The popular show is broadcast on Sky Max and Sky Showcase and featured Jennifer Saunders, Roman Kemp, Elis James, Andrew Mensah and former Swansea striker Lee Trundle.

And when Lucas got up to answer the door viewers saw the number 9 and the name Murray on the back.
During the programme several people took to social media to ask the significance of the top and Lucas tweeted: “I’m wearing a Gala Fairydean Rovers shirt in honour of @ZanderMurray.”
Zander responded by tweeting: “Aaaah!!! Amazing, honoured mate."
In a previous edition Lucas wore a Blackpool shirt to show his support for Jake Daniels who became UK's first active male professional footballer to come out as gay earlier this year
In September Gala Fairydean Rovers striker Murray became the first openly gay player in Scottish football since Justin Fashanu, who played for Airdrie and Hearts in the 1990s.
He now wants to be a role model for others.
