The Genesis Scottish Open Pro-Am will have a strong Celtic feel this week, with Sir Kenny Dalglish, Scott Brown and Ryan Christie all involved at the Renaissance Club.
The Daily Record report that the three former Celtic players are part of the Pro-Am field before the tournament gets underway later this week.
Lowry is due to play the opening nine holes with the group, before Hatton joins for the second half of the round.
It should be a popular group for supporters following the Pro-Am, with three well-known Celtic names and two major golf figures in the same line-up.
Dalglish remains one of the most famous players ever to come through at Celtic. He made his name at Parkhead before moving to Liverpool, where he added even more success to an already outstanding career.
He has also spoken recently about undergoing treatment for cancer, so his appearance at the event is likely to bring a warm reaction from those watching on.
Brown is another name who will draw attention. The former Celtic captain spent 14 years in Glasgow after joining from Hibs and became one of the club’s defining figures of the modern era.
He won trophy after trophy in green and white and remains closely linked with one of Celtic’s most successful domestic periods.
The golfing side of the group is just as strong.
Lowry was part of Europe’s Ryder Cup side, while Hatton was also involved in the win over the United States.
For Celtic fans attending or keeping an eye on the build-up to the Scottish Open, this group will be worth watching.
The Pro-Am always brings together names from different sports, but a line-up featuring Dalglish, Brown and Christie gives this year’s event a clear Celtic angle.
With Lowry and Hatton also involved, there should be plenty of interest around the group as the players get their final preparation in before the tournament begins properly.
