Still Game star praises street art tribute after giant Boaby the Barman mural appears in Cumbernauld

Residents of Cumbernauld have spotted some Still Game street art in the town, and it's pretty impressive.

In one of the town's underpasses, a giant colourful mural of Still Game character Boaby the Barman has been created and has even been applauded by actor Gavin Mitchell.

In the display, a cartoon version of Boaby can be seen pointing his finger forward alongside the words "You're barred!".

A delighted Gavin shared the mural on Twitter, thanking the artist for his work.

He wrote: "It would appear that Boabby has noo spread to the underpasses of Cumbernauld ! Thanks to Mark DjFive Lang for this!"

And many fans commented on how cool the new street art is.

One wrote: "I'm sure the people of Cumbernauld love that their underpasses are celebrating the boaby."

Another added: "Crackin that Gav."

While one joked: "Is it Boabby or Troy?"

And another added: "Love it...let the message spread far and wide."

Boaby's mural isn't the only Still Game street art in town, as a massive colourful picture of Methadone Mick appeared in Glasgow last month.

Cultural icon Methadone Mick, played by actor Scott Reid, now graces the side of city centre-based Cass Art.

Mick - famed for his dazzling set of oversized blinding white gnashers - became a cult hit as star of the iconic BBC Scotland sitcom, where he was taken under the wing of OAP lead characters Jack and Victor.

The pair masterminded the infamous makeover which led to the creation of Mick's trademark teeth and saw him land a job after an interview at Glasgow's City Chambers.

Down-and-out Mick captured imaginations when he joined the show in 2016 as a replacement for Pete the Jakey after the character's death.

The looming mural has been introduced at the Queen Street store, complete with resplendent dentistry, replacing the image of a girl smoking a cigarette.
