Luckless Rangers fan travels 500 miles OVERNIGHT for Dundee clash only for game to be called off

A diehard Rangers fan made a near-500 mile trip OVERNIGHT to watch the Light Blues in action at Dundee - only for the match to be postponed!

A loyal Light Blues supporter, who is based in Wales, posted a photo setting off on a bus in the dead of night along with his young son and the message: “Dundee away starts now. Overnight bus to Scotland aren’t for the weak but neither are title races.” And TWELVE hours later he shared a series of facepalm emojis alongside the tweet from Dundee announcing that there was a pitch inspection for the lunchtime kick off on Tayside.

And after referee Don Robertson had taken the decision to call the game off, he again posted: “Travelled all night for the game to be called off as we get to Dundee.” But the fan, who is based in Merthyr Tydfil about 20 miles north of Cardiff, thanked Rangers supporters liaison officer as he posted photos of his son with Ibrox stars Fabio Silva and Rabbi Matondo, who plays for Wales.
