In a rather funny turn of events, popular K-pop band STAYC have announced themselves as fans of Scottish football giants Rangers while on tour in the USA. Sort of.

STAYC, a much loved Korean all girl group formed in 2020, are currently in America where they had a stop in Dallas, Texas as part of their massive US tour.

In an attempt to endear themselves to the locals, they had intended to wear the jersey city's biggest baseball team the Texas Rangers - though much to the bemusement of locals, two members of the girl band had a bit of a fashion faux pas that will raise a smile on the blue side of Glasgow after the emerged wearing retro Rangers 1996 Rangers shirts.

The kit, which was made popular by the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Brian Laudrup and Ally McCoist and worn during the Walter Smith era of the Ibrox club, is one of the rarest and most loved shirts of the modern era, though it appears in even funnier news that the shirts may not even be originals.

STAYC, which stands for Star to a Young Culture, are compromised of members Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J and had their debut release of the same name in 2020.

The band are set to play a gig in the UK on November 8 as they hit up London as part of the Korea On Stage tour, however, we are sure they'd now be welcomed with open arms by some Scottish fans should they decide to sneak in an extra date at the OVO Hydro.
