The group appeared in the Glasgow Rangers tops instead of Texas Rangers
A popular K-Pop band appears to have made a mix-up by donning retro Rangers tops at a show in Texas.

But instead of wearing local baseball team Texas Rangers tops, the girl group appeared in 1990s kits worn by Glasgow Rangers.
The six-piece group which has found success in Korea and Japan are currently embarked on their Teenfresh world tour.
Members Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J made their debut in 2020 with the release of their album Star to a Young Culture - which is the group's acronym.
