ROCK legend Malcolm Young was the special guest of Rangers today for the SPL title party. The AC/DC rhythm guitarist made the trip with son Ross to be at Ibrox for the trophy presentation after the final match of the season with Motherwell. And he met up with delighted assistant boss Ally McCoist, who is a huge AC/DC fan and went to see the band live at Hampden last summer.
Malcolm and brother Angus are massive Rangers fans and have been following the team since their early days in the Cranhill area of Glasgow before the family emigrated to Australia. And he happily accepted printed Rangers shirts for Angus and himself. It was Malcolm's first visit to Ibrox since the late 1970s when he and Angus watched an Old Firm clash and he was delighted to be back.
He told rangers.co.uk: "It's fantastic to be back at Ibrox. Coming down the tunnel and going onto the pitch was amazing. "It's a long time since I was last here. I remember Angus and me came to watch a Celtic game and, of course, we won 2-1. "We've always been Rangers fans and it's great to bring my son Ross along to watch the match. "Everyone in our family have been Rangers fans since I can remember so this is a special day for me." McCoist was like a star-struck kid when the met the rock star and told Malcolm how he first saw AC/DC at the old Glasgow Apollo back in 1977. He said: "You have no idea what this means to me! It's sensational to meet Malcolm and it's brilliant that he is here on the day we get the title."
AC/DC are one of the biggest rock acts in the world. They were the biggest selling band on the globe with 2008 on the back of the Black Ice album. A compilation of AC/DC classics also makes up the soundtrack of the new smash hit movie Iron Man 2.
haha only thing wrong is it says angus on the shirt not malcolm or young lol, Im an irish Arsenal fan, but always liked a bit of rangers due to AC/DC haha
you dont need to support anyone, religion shouldnt come into it,but it does, one team despises the other for their religious beliefs CELTIC catholic RANGERS protestant
its just one of those things.
and showing your loyalties to one side,can prejudice some fans i no nothing of this but when we went to hampden to see AC/DC i remember one scotish fan stating "ahh fuck im not going in the finian end"
as i say im no expert on this football/religious thing maybe someone casn explain
but i always feel .......better not to get involved
Had my first little bit of excitement yesterday about the world cup. Saw an advert which had a flash of Holland and Argentina, two countries that always remind me of my first world cup in '78. Biggest sporting event in the world. Weeks of beer, crisps and screaming abuse at the TV screen. And less stressful than the Rugby World Cup. Bring it on.
