GOOD NEWS:Celtic and Rangers legends set to star in award-winning play..
Two Celtic and Rangers legends are swapping the football pitch for the stage as they make their acting debuts in the award-winning play Singin’ I’m No A Billy He’s A Tim.
Former Old Firm rivals, Simon Donnelly and Charlie Miller, will step into cameo roles as prisoners on April 19 at the Ingliston Estate and Country Club hotel in what promises to be a memorable night for football and theatre fans alike.
The play, a Scottish hit, explores the deep-seated rivalry between Celtic and Rangers fans in a humorous yet poignant way, focusing on two characters – a Celtic fan and a Rangers supporter – who are locked in a prison cell on the day of an Old Firm match.
The addition of Donnelly and Miller to the cast is expected to add a new layer of excitement to the performance, especially with a Q&A session with the football legends taking place after the show.
For Charlie Miller, who spent a significant part of his career playing for Rangers, the opportunity came as something of a surprise.
“I was up north doing coaching with Simon when I was approached to do the show by Scott Kyle,” Miller explained. “I told him, ‘Of course I would’.”
The show’s producer and star, Scott Kyle, grew up in the same area as the two footballers and jumped at the chance to involve them in his play. “The hotel wanted to stage the show with an Old Firm legends night Q&A, and I instantly thought it would be fantastic to have them in cameo parts as convicts.”
