GREENOCK actor Martin Compston stunned gig goers as he stormed the stage during a high-energy performance at TRNSMT last weekend.

The Line of Duty star declared Scottish crowds ‘the best in the world’ and took aim at rival music festival Glastonbury with a tongue-in-cheek remark after musician Example brought him on as a special guest ahead of his set on Friday.

The 40-year-old held a Saltire flag as he came on stage to hype up the crowd ahead of his friend’s performance on the King Tut’s stage at the Glasgow Green music festival.

 

Addressing the crowd, Compston said: "I'm just a wee scally fae Greenock.

"And that man asked me to be here because he's a legend.

"Let's give some appreciation for Example.

"He's a friend of mine, he told me the best crowds in the world are Scotland.”

He then launched into a chant of "No Scotland, No Party" with the crowd before the set got underway.

Compston later shared a video of him on stage on his Instagram and wrote that was ‘one of the best experiences’ and thanked Example for inviting him along.

Earlier on Friday, Example was pictured hanging backstage at TRNSMT with Compston and chef Jimmy Lee.

The pair are reported to have met almost a decade ago in the United States and struck up a friendship which led to the singer-songwriter playing a gig in Greenock in aid of Ardgowan Hospice.

Compston was also spotted joining in with the fun during TRNSMT headliner Gerry Cinnamon’s performance on Saturday.

He appeared to be in high spirits in video footage which showed singing along to the singer-songwriter's hit Where We're Going.

Wearing a flat cap and being held up on a reveller’s shoulders, the actor could be seen throwing his arms in the air in time to the music.

The star’s latest outing comes after a busy June, which saw him party with Tartan Army foot soldiers in Germany ahead of Euro 2024’s opener.

Alongside broadcaster and friend Gordon Smart, the actor hosted ‘Late Night At The Euros’ for BBC Scotland, a programme which celebrated Scotland’s journey through the tournament.
