Rousing Rangers fans wow Scots theatre show cast and crowd on eve of new league season

This is the moment when rousing Rangers supporters wowed a Scots theatre show cast on the eve of the new Scottish Premiership season.

The crowd erupted into song at the half time interval of the Rally Roon The Rangers performance at the Pavilion in Glasgow on Friday night. The second half of the show had to be delayed to allow the fans to continue to sing, as the buzzing cast soaked up the atmosphere from behind the curtain.

In the clip the crowd can be heard clapping and singing Rangers' anthem 'Follow Follow'. As the camera pans around the stand the delighted fans can be seen partying in the crowd as some wave their fans in the air.

Actor Stuart Hay, who is on the cast, posted the video onto his Twitter page with the caption: "F******in hell!!! We were all behind the curtain here and delay the 2nd half for this to calm down."

In a later post this morning, Stuart added: "Two shows today! It’s gonna take a lot to beat that crowd last night so get the song book looked over, anyone who’s coming tonight!"

The scenes came on the eve of the return of Scottish Premiership action, with Rangers traveling to Livingston at 12pm on Saturday.

Rally Roon The Rangers is a comedy created by the same team that produced Singin I’m No A Billy He’s A Tim. Eight die-hard fans gather for a night of booze, banter and Rangers songs - but they are plunged into a desperate bid to save The Wee Rangers Supporters Club from demolition by the council.

When all seems lost, an Ibrox disaster survivor arrives and points out the traitor in the group. During the show tributes were paid to former Rangers heroes who have recently passed away.

During one song supporters were asked to 'raise a glass' to Fernando Ricksen, Walter Smith and Jimmy Bell before the biggest cheer of the evening went up for 'The Goalie', Andy Goram.

The series of sold out performances started on Wednesday July 24 and will end on Saturday August 3.
