WWE star dreamed of playing for Rangers but left football after trying to fight referee

In a wrestling career that's been filled with enough championships and awards to make most peers envious, WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre doesn't have much reason to harbour regrets.

However, the Scot's athletic career could have taken a far different turn after he revealed it was also a dream of his to represent Rangers. McIntyre—real name Andrew Galloway—was born in Ayr, about an hour's drive southwest of Glasgow, and grew up playing football much like any Scottish child with a sporting interest might.

His wrestling vision didn't truly start to take shape until he started training at the Frontier Wrestling Alliance after his family moved to Portsmouth during his teen years. But Rangers may have missed out on a potential talent considering his rise through WWE's ranks to hold multiple world titles.
