Korean pop stars STAYC were invited for a tour of Rangers’ stadium after the group accidentally wore a retro club kit during a performance in Dallas last month.
The six-member girl group had tried to win over the audience during the American leg of their world tour.
STAYC, pronounced Stacey, planned to wear the uniform of the local baseball team Texas Rangers, which played in Major League Baseball’s World Series.
A mix-up saw the group instead appear on stage wearing a shirt from the 1996/97 Glasgow Rangers season, worn by legends such as Paul Gascoigne and Brian Laudrup as the club won their ninth league title in a row.
STAYC has shortened the McEwan’s Lager sponsored shirt into the style of a crop top.
