A Shot at Glory is a film by Michael Corrente produced in 1999 and released in 2002, starring Robert Duvall and the Scottish football player Ally McCoist.
Jackie McQuillan (Ally McCoist) is the team's striker, an ageing player on the verge of retirement, who has recently been signed from Arsenal.
Duvall regularly went to see Raith Rovers to learn from John McVeigh, the manager, on whom his character was based.
The events of the film were also mirrored later in 2006 when Third Division Gretna reached the Scottish Cup final, losing on penalties to SPL runners-up Hearts.
