Rangers fans and Seville busker belt out John Lundstram chant in hilarious clip

Spanish locals in Seville are well and truly getting into the Europa League spirit - with one busker even breaking out a boombox to rally fans' tribute to midfielder John Lundstram.

Light Blues fans have of late been belting out their reworked version of Belinda Carlisle's Heaven Is A Place On Earth to express their adoration for the 28-year-old Scouser.

The lyrics now go: "Ooh baby do you know what it's worth/John Lundstram is the best on Earth/the silky Scouser's just what we need/He's gonna win us the Europa League!"

As one group of fans belted out the re-worked 80s hit in Seville on Monday, a Spanish busker armed with a speaker and a microphone cued up the original tune as an accompaniment.

And after a round or two of the chant, he even made an effort to join in himself, belting out: "Glasgow Rangers are the best on Earth!"

The Record captured the busker's efforts on Plaza Almeda de Hercules, one of Seville's top nightlife spots.

It will serve as a meeting point for fans heading to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium on Wednesday.

Lundstram joined Rangers in July 2021 and has since made his name as one of the team's top enforcers.

His critical goal against RB Leipzig earlier this month propelled the Gers into the Europa League final - to huge acclaim from club supporters.

We previously told Belinda Carlisle herself has even wished the Gers well as they aim for European glory for the first time in 50 years.

More than 100,000 Gers fans are expected to descend on Andalusia this week, along with 60,000 Eintracht Frankfurt supporters - despite UEFA bosses advising ticketless fans not to travel.

A fanzone set up at La Cartuja stadium will accommodate 60,000 with a live broadcast of the match, which is being played at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan stadium across the city.
