A GAME of Thrones star has been confirmed to appear at a highland games event in Glasgow.

Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson - who plays Ser Gregor ‘The Mountain’ Clegane in the smash-hit HBO series - will be this year’s chieftain at the Carmunnock International Highland Games.

As Europe’s Strongest Man 2018 and now the front runner for World’s Strongest Man 2018, seeing Hafþór in action is one not to be missed for fans of the show.

This year’s games will take place on Sunday, May 27 at King George V Playing Field.

Scott Rider, the current Highland Games World Champion, will also be welcomed back.
