Celtic and Rangers fans are getting their very own comedy shows next month.
The two shows – Rangers Revolution and Celtic Clubhouse – are the brainchild of Gary Young, the founder of Young's Comedy Club in Kirkintilloch.
“I am a great lover of comedy and football and I don’t think either of them have been put together as of yet,” Gary told the Glasgow Times.
He continued: “There is a massive gap in the market for football comedy.
“A show like this has never been done before.”
And Gary hopes the events will help others make friends within their own fan base.
He explained: “I know people who would go to football games by themselves and have ended up making lifelong friends all through a love of the same club.
“You could be anywhere in the world and if you see another person in the same team's top, there's a mutual respect, a nod and a conversation starter all through a football team.”
The Rangers Revolution show will take place on Friday, August 16 at Kirkintilloch Rangers Supporters Club, while Celtic Clubhouse will take place on Saturday, August 17 at The Redbrae Pub in the Waverley Function Hall.
Rangers Revolution will be hosted by comedian Roddy Gordon and will include sets from Stevie Mitchell, Allan Park, Hitesh Rathore and Steve Goldie.
Meanwhile, Celtic Clubhouse will also be hosted by Roddy Gordon, with sets from Stevie Mitchell, Al Thompson, Matt Black, Jay Lynch and Ryan McCready.

Attendees can expect comedians to crack some jokes on Scottish football as a whole, as well as VAR, stadiums, referees and past results.
Gary teased: “The comedians will have a no-limits night on what they can say about Scottish football and rivals.”
Men Matter Scotland will also be on hand with representatives on both of the comedy nights, with a portion of the ticket proceeds going to male mental health charities.
As Gary said, laughter is the best medicine after all.
He added: “Mental health is a massive part of most people's day-to-day life and shows like this means someone struggling with mental health can come along and possibly build a network of support in an environment that is suited to them through their love of a football team."
