Fashion Sakala turns Rangers cheerleader as he joins fans for Ibrox anthem rendition

Fashion Sakala joined some Rangers fans for his own chant after the Light Blues' pre-season friendly with Sunderland was abandoned.

The match played over in Portugal got to half-time before a floodlight failure at the Estadio Municipal de Albufeira plunged the place into darkness, rendering action unplayable. Sunderland were 1-0 up at the time through a Luke O'Nien goal as pre-season plans hit a stumbling block. Rangers will return to the UK ahead of a friendly with Blackpool next weekend.

There was still time though for hardy fans who had travelled for the match to see some of their heroes, with some getting close and personal with Sakala. The striker joined from Oostende last summer and scored 12 times during his debut season in Light Blue, earning a song to the tune of Shakira's 2010 World Cup song Waka Waka, with the words 'this time for Africa' replaced by 'he comes from Zambia'.
