Steve Black, Managing Director at Masters Football, said: "The Scottish Masters was relaunched in 2022 much due to public demand and this will be the third version in recent years. It will be a first in Aberdeen at P&J Live and the players and the fans are excited to welcome this battle of rivals. The action will be fast and furious, and every player will roll back the years and be looking to win this tournament. Looking forward to an evening of pure entertainment!"
