Dozens of K-pop fans gathered at Ibrox stadium where they were greeted by a group who had mistakenly worn a Rangers FC strip, after apparently confusing them with a US baseball team.

STAYC, pronounced Stacey, had worn the Rangers FC strip during a performance in Texas, in the US, last month, thinking it was a kit worn by the Dallas Rangers baseball team.

Rangers FC later invited the group to the stadium, where they introduced themselves to the many K-pop fans who gathered outside Edmiston House.

Members of the band thanked the crowd for visiting them in what was their first trip to Scotland.

One member said: “This is our first time in Scotland and we are so happy right now. Are you guys fans of Rangers too?”

Another band member shouted: “We love Rangers!”

The crowd cheered and fans took photographs while the band posed in a custom-made Rangers FC strip, each with the number 23 and STAYC printed on the back.

STAYC, a female K-pop group from South Korea, consists of band members Isa, Seeum, Yoon, J, Sumin and Sieun.

The group formed in 2020 and soon became popular, with a following across much of Asia and the West.
