Former Rangers striker Ross McCormack revealed he joined the Parkhead pitch invasion when Celtic stopped the Ibrox side from winning 10-in-a-row - just months before he JOINED the Light Blues.

McCormack made his breakthrough at Rangers and was handed his debut by Alex McLeish as a teenager and netted a famous leveller against Porto in a Champions League fixture.

But the 38-year-old opened up on his childhood Hoops allegiance before putting pen to paper in Govan. The former frontman who went for huge money in moves in England to Leeds United, Fulham, and Aston Villa admitted that he decided to move to Rangers after being told that he was “too small” by Celtic scouts when he went for a trial as an eight-year-old and opted for the “next best thing”.

McCormack spoke to Simon Ferry and Paul Slane on the Open Goal podcast and confessed: “I was a Celtic fan yeah. I had a season ticket.
