Kevin McNaughton impresses with Liverpool pub karaoke ahead of FA Cup clash

Former Scotland star Kevin McNaughton impressed football fans with a singsong after he travelled to Liverpool to support one of his former teams.

Cardiff City travel to Anfield in today's FA Cup with thousands of fans travelling from Wales for the match, and being joined by one of their former stars.

The ex-Bludebirds player, who sparked concern after he was reported missing last month, looked in good spirts as he sang his own version of Nessun Dorma to a packed pub in Liverpool last night.

Sharing the video on Twitter, McNaughton, who is currently youth team coach at Dundee, said: "Thanks for the support over last few weeks. I’m now moonlighting as an opera singer, bookings available.

"Come on the Bluebirds today."

Fans were delighted to see the 39-year-old looking so well amid his karaoke stint.

Commenting on the social media video, Debs Bywater said "This makes my heart happy."

Gabbsthenewt added: "Just an absolute tonic to see Kev! Your spirit and that laugh is something special, always has been."

Another wrote: "Glad you are ok kev! We was all worried about you! Go steady fella! We are all here to help you!"

We reported last month that Kevin's car had been stolen from his home.

This sparked despair as he took to Twitter to explain his anguish.

He explained in the post his belongings in the stolen vehicle were all he had and the robbery had come at a difficult time.

In the post, he said: "To the guy that stole my car, you stole a lot of my clothes in a tough time, you stole my life. It might mean nothing to you, but it was all I had."

Police confirmed they then received a report of concern for a person after the former Aberdeen star went missing from his home at around 9.05am.

Officers carried out searches and following enquiries he was thankfully found safe and well.

Among those who wished Kevin well was Ross County manager Malky Mackay, his former gaffer at Cardiff City.

Mackay said: “Kevin is someone that meant a lot to me in terms of our time together at Cardiff. There are some real fond memories.

“He’s a terrific pro, and what a champion for Cardiff City he was.

“After hearing that news, I just reiterate wishing him and his family nothing but the best.”
