New mural of Still Game star appears in Glasgow city centre

A NEW mural of a Still Game star has appeared in Glasgow city centre.

Legendary Scottish comedy character, Winston Ingram, has been honoured in the painting.

The mural, on a wall just off Queen Street, shows the hilarious OAP played by Paul Riley wearing his iconic red jacket and flat-top bunnet.

This week, prolific Glasgow artist Tef sprayed the street art, which has already received praise from some Still Game stars.

Tef has work across the city, and we reported on his mural of comedian Limmy in Yoker last month.

Tef posted a video of the completed work on social media with the caption "Stevieee" in a nod to the characters hilarious battle with Stevie the bookie in Still Game.

Gavin Mitchell, who plays Bobby the Barman in the hit comedy show, was quick to give Tef praise for the mural.

He commented on a video posted by the artist, saying: "👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🍺🍺🌵" 

Applauding the work and hinting towards the famous line "two pints, p***k."

Fans flocked to the comments alongside Gavin, one said: "Superb."

Another requested the artist make a mural for another character from the show. They said: "Love this!! We need an Isa one next!"

It joins the many fantastic murals across the city, including huge commissioned gable-end work which scale several stories.

Nearby, there was a mural painted of legendary Glasgow comedian Billy Connolly on the boards where the new Dishoom restaurant will open on Nelson Mandela Place.

The boards were taken down and the artist behind the design launched a plea to have them sent to him.
