K-pop group STAYC greet fans at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow after Rangers kit mix-up
A K-pop group that mistakenly wore Rangers FC shirts during a performance in the US were warmly welcomed to Glasgow during a visit to Ibrox Stadium.
STAYC, pronounced Stacey, had worn the 1990s Rangers FC strip during a show in Texas last month, thinking it was a kit worn by the Dallas Rangers baseball team.
The Scottish club later invited the group to the stadium, where they introduced themselves to a large group of supporters who gathered outside Edmiston House.

Another band member shouted: “We love Rangers!”
