Moment adorable Rangers-mad Scots tot takes her first steps while watching the Gers

This is the moment an adorable Rangers -mad toddler takes her first steps watching the Teddy Bears.

Little Jessica Fitzpatrick is so addicted to seeing her favourite blues on screen that she goes wild with excitement every time they play.

But this week the tot took her excitement to another level when she got up on her feet and toddled her first steps to 'follow' her beloved Gers.

At just nine-months-old Jessica left her family stunned when she took her first steps.

Mum Leeann said: "We’re all rangers daft. All my kids have been brought up as rangers fans.

"When Jessica turned nine-months-old she managed to climb up to stand at tv unit and watch Rangers.

"She then started laughing and getting excited and waving her hands about and eventually took her first steps.

"Jessica is always dancing doing crazy flips around the living room and that was before she could even walk. She loves dancing to any song that comes on but mainly when Rangers songs come on. She’s very intelligent for her age."

Big sister Brooklyn, 18, added: "We couldn't believe that she was walking so early and it was because Rangers were on the TV. She just gets so excited when she sees them. It's hilarious."

Leeann, who is also mum to Shyla, 13 and Stephen, 12, says her eldest daughter is training to be a professional dancer and is hoping her baby sister follows in her footsteps.

However if her current love for the League Champions is any indication, it's more likely she will follow her other siblings in their love for the beautiful game.

Leeann said: "Brooklyn has the “won’t give up spirit” and is determined to get Jessica into dancing, she has already been teaching her.

"But Shyla is wanting Jessica to do football which is causing a sibling rivalry. Who knows what Jessica will choose to do when she’s older."
