Kneecap have paid a visit to the home of Celtic rivals Rangers FC ahead of gigs in Glasgow.

The Irish language rap trio posed for a photograph outside Ibrox stadium and posted a photograph of a Rangers logo at the site on which they added a sticker featuring the caption ‘England get out of Ireland’.

The sticker, with its cartoon of a partitioned Ireland, is the same image from a mural unveiled by Kneecap in west Belfast in 2022.

The group are in the Scottish city for two gigs at the Barrowland Ballroom on Saturday and Sunday.

The stop is part of their Fine Art tour across England, Scotland and Wales, named for their debut album released earlier this year.
