A Shot at Glory is a film by Michael Corrente released in 2001 (but made in 1999), starring Robert Duvall and the Scottish football international Ally McCoist. It had a limited commerical and critical success. The film features the fictional Scottish football club Kilnockie, as they attempt to reach their first Scottish Cup Final. Robert Duvall plays the club coach, Ally McCoist its legendary striker - and the coach's son-in-law - whose best footballing days are behind him. A soundtrack for the film was written by Mark Knopfler.

Filming took place at several locations across Scotland, including Boghead Park (the former ground of Dumbarton F.C.), Queen of the South F. C.'s Palmerston Park ground, Kilmarnock F.C.'s Rugby Park ground and Hampden Park.
