Ex-Rangers midfielder Gregg Wylde has lifted the lid on former teammate Kyle Lafferty's craziest dressing room prank.
Northern Ireland striker Lafferty is known for his colourful personality, and was once described by Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini as "an out of control womaniser".
Now one of his former teammates has recalled an incident from his first spell at the Glasgow club.
Wylde said on the 4LadsHadADream podcast: "Bonfire night was coming up and Lee McCulloch knew a guy who could get us fireworks.
"So he came in one day and said, ‘Does anyone want fireworks or rockets for your family at home?’
“Some of the boys said aye and, to cut the story short, he brought fireworks in.
"There were these firecrackers. Have you ever seen Home Alone when he puts the firecrackers outside the back door?
“Lee McCulloch brought them in, the session finished in the morning and, I don’t know how, Kyle Lafferty got into his locker.
“The boys were in the shower and the place was steamed up because of the water. Kyle thought it was funny to put a couple in a water bottle and lit it.
"He lit the firecrackers, put it in a water bottle and chucked it into the showers.
“We couldn’t see what was in it because of the smoke. A minute later, this bottle explodes and cracks everywhere.
"I couldn’t believe he had set a firework off in the changing room. The fire alarm goes off so we all had to get changed and leave Murray Park.
"We were like, ‘What the hell was that?’
“Lafferty thought it was funny to let off a firecracker, put it in a bottle and put it in the showers."
