RANGERS icon Paul Gascoigne has made a shock appearance in the Ibrox club’s Christmas advert this year.
But the Light Blues hero was left shaking his head come the end of the fun festive video.
The Gers posted the clip on X.com, formerly known as Twitter, to mark the countdown to Christmas and to advertise the various gifts available on the club’s website.
The video titled ‘This Christmas It’s Rangers All The Way’ features a host of current stars from the first team, including skipper James Tavernier, goalkeeper Jack Butland, Todd Cantwell, Nicolas Raskin Rabbi Matondo and Kemar Roofe.
Club stalwarts from the past also make an appearance, such as former captain Barry Ferguson, John Brown, Kenny Miller and Marvin Andrews.
The 1 minute-and-35-seconds-long piece centres on Ibrox faces old and new preparing to sit down for Christmas dinner, with Brown and Ferguson even hilariously vying for a seat at the top of the table by debating who had the better career at the club.
But the biggest surprise for supporters – and for those around the dinner table – was the arrival of former England star Gascoigne, who came bearing gifts before grabbing himself a seat.
Gascoigne was a nine-in-a-hero for Gers fans in the mid 1990s and his appearances back at Ibrox always go down well with the Light Blues faithful.
But despite his iconic status at the club, Gazza was made to WASH THE DISHES as the video concludes with the former England star looking rather displeased with the rest of the Rangers contingent.
The ad has gone down well with supporters online.

A third punter replied: “Simply beautiful Mr Rangers. Getting Gazza involved was a touch of class.”
