A popular K-Pop band appears to have made a mix-up by donning retro Rangers tops at a show in Texas.

STAYC were performing in Dallas as part of their US tour.

But instead of wearing local baseball team Texas Rangers tops, the girl group appeared in 1990s kits worn by Glasgow Rangers.

The six-piece group which has found success in Korea and Japan are currently embarked on their Teenfresh world tour.

Members Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J made their debut in 2020 with the release of their album Star to a Young Culture - which is the group's acronym.

Two of the pop stars were photographed wearing Rangers 1996-97 home shirts at their concert on Thursday.

That season Rangers won the Scottish League Cup after a thrilling 4-3 game at Celtic Park against Hearts, with stars including Paul Gascoigne and Ally McCoist in their team.

Meanwhile, Texas Rangers have reached their first World Series since 2011. They are the oldest Major League Baseball team to never win the World Series.

Despite the mix-up, Glasgow Rangers fans on social media voiced their approval of STAYC's fashion choice, with one fan saying: "Rangers are the kings of K-Pop".

But this is not the first time a K-pop band has chosen to don a Glasgow football top.

STAYC will be appearing at Wembley to perform alongside other K-pop stars for Korea on Stage In London on 8 November.
