Chelsea star Billy Gilmour’s Rangers-mad mum refuses to hold green part of Norwich scarf due to Celtic hatred

RANGERS fans are delighted after watching Billy Gilmour's Celtic-hating mum refuse to hold the GREEN part of his Norwich scarf.

The former Rangers youngster, 20, joined the Canaries on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

And he will hope for much more regular playing time in order to capitalise on his time away with Scotland at Euro 2020.

In a video posted by the Premier League new boys, footage from Gilmour's first day from the club can be seen.

This includes parts of his medical and of him putting pen to paper on his contract.

However, in one section that has delighted Rangers supporters, Gilmour's mum can be seen refusing to hold the green part of a Norwich scarf due to the colour's association with Celtic.

His dad, also called Billy, can be heard joking: "Give your mum a loan of the scarf, she loves that colour."

But his mum, Carrie, then says: "I'll hold a yellow bit!"

Billy Sr can then be heard adding: "She doesn't like that colour. She's getting the away strip, she said!"

Gilmour and his parents, along with his younger brother Harvey, can then be seen posing for photographs while holding the scarf together.
