The big match in tickets
By Arti Mulchand

ALL you needed to get into the premiere of Mission: Impossible II, it seems, was the right contacts in the football department.

The movie's Scottish co-star Dougray Scott got the manager of his favourite soccer club into the premiere of the film, and will now have his back scratched in return -- he gets free match tickets.

The football-mad actor invited Scottish team Hibernian's manager Alex McLeish along to the premiere of Mission: Impossible II, which also stars Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton.

Now Scott will be invited to catch the team in action when the season starts on Saturday. Scott is known to be a big Hibernian fan.
