Rangers supporters are attempting to get Glad All Over by The Dave Clark Five to Christmas number one but, in doing so, appear to have upset a number of fans of the girl band Little Mix who are also hopeful of securing the festive accolade.
The Scottish football fans adapted the 1960s hit into a song honouring striker Joe Garner and are keen to see the original track take the top spot over the girls’ single Touch.
In short:
The last 24 hours on twitter have been totally surreal. Never did I forsee any of this 😂😂😂 #JoeyGarnerChristmasNumberOne pic.twitter.com/19kJ1zgW9L

These were the best of the jokes as Little Mix and Rangers fans feud on Twitter over who is set to be Christmas No. 1:

Anyone else expecting the next song from little mix to be your not rangers anymore

I'm sorry but if that joke football song ruins Touch's chance of being #1, I am deleting my account

STATISTIC: Amidst the social media war between the two sets of supporters, Little Mix (est. 2011) are in fact older than Rangers (est. 2012)
