Scots Dancing On Ice fans in stitches after show belts out Rangers Simply The Best anthem

Scots Dancing On Ice fans were left in stitches after the show used Rangers anthem Simply The Best anthem after the blues Scottish Premiership victory.

Households tuned into the skating show following a day that appeared to be monopolised by the Rangers big 55 celebrations across Scotland.

But fans were left in hysterics after contestants Faye Brookes and Matt Evers chose Simply The Best as their personal song - in what could only be a perfect coincidence.

The news comes as it was revealed a group of Rangers fans were hatching a plan to push Ibrox anthem '(Simply) The Best' to No.1 and give Tina Turner her first ever UK chart-topper.

The 1992 cover of Bonnie Tyler's original version has greeted the teams as they emerge from the tunnel for decades.

Fans of Dancing On Ice couldn't believe it was a coincidence that the song was being played following the big victory celebrations.

One said: 'Dancing on ice playing Simply The Best tonight has tipped me over the edge."

Another joked: "I've just been told Simply The Best was on Dancing on Ice tonight! I keep imagining the blokes who said 'sick of fitba, sitting wi the Mrs and watching her stuff the night'.. and then....."

One Rangers fan revealed: "Just jumped in the van and penny arcade was on BBC Scotland some guy fae Hamilton requested it and when I get back in the house simply the best is on dancing on ice. What a f****** day WATP."

Another lamented: "Right, enough is enough. Now Dancing On Ice is playing "Simply The Best"!!!!"

While another celebrated: "Heard simply the best playing from the living room ran through to check what I was missing, turns out it's Dancing On Ice."

And one Celtic fan complained: "God, even playing Simply the Best on Dancing On Ice."

Dancing On Ice star John Barrowman's nephew once trialled with Rangers but it's unknown if the decision to use the song on Dancing On Ice was related to that or just a coincidence.
