Lotto winner Jane Park makes cheeky jibe as Robbie Williams song choice divides crowd
Robbie Williams' impromptu performance of an Edinburgh football club's anthem received a mixed reaction from the crowd at Murrayfield on Saturday night.
As well as performing his biggest hits during the first leg of his Britpop tour, he decided to ditch the stage and head towards some unsuspecting members of the crowd mid-performance.
At one point, Robbie, dressed in pink, appeared to serenade one fortunate fan by touching her on the shoulder and encouraging the crowd to join in.
However, the song in question was Sunshine on Leith by The Proclaimers - an iconic tune associated with Hibs and the club's fans.
Many were quick to point out on social media how Robbie decided to sing that particular song while performing in the west of the city and near Tynecastle - the home of Hibs' city rivals Hearts.
One well-known Hibs fan who couldn't resist posting a video of the rendition was Edinburgh EuroMillions winner Jane Park. She wrote on X: "Robbie Williams singing sunshine on Leith over in Gorgie," along with a laughing face emoji and green love heart.
Once finished singing Robbie said: "Now there's two things here. One is I think that's a better song than You'll Never Walk Alone and the other thing is why don't Heart of Midlothian boo that song? I don't get it?"
He added: "Are you here Hearts?" to which cheers can be heard from the crowd before Robbie quickly shuts down all talk of football rivalry by quipping: "Ok that's enough of that s**t."

'I went to watch Oasis live and three details really concerned me'
I was devastated when I heard the heartbreaking news that an Oasis fan had died at Wembley Stadium. On Saturday, August 2, Lee Claydon, lost his life after falling from a height, reportedly from the upper tier of the venue. The 45-year-old, from Bournemouth, had been enjoying the Britpop legends' return when the tragedy occurred. Details surrounding the fall are yet to be fully confirmed, but his heartbroken dad Clive has made a statement about the incident. The 75-year-old claims: "People have said horrible things but it was just an accident. All I know is there was beer everywhere, it's slippery, he slipped apparently, we do not know the rest of it. There's questions about the barriers." These words left a lump in my throat because I remember how chaotic it felt on the day I was there, earlier in the week. And in my personal experience, three details concerned me - the spilled beer, slippery surfaces and steep steps My experience I arrived at Wembley just after 5pm buzzing with excitement to see Oasis. And I wasn't the only one – as there were already fans going back and forward from the bar, spilling their beers along the way. Then during the second support act, Richard Ashcroft, I felt booze dripping down my skin as a man behind me tipped his pint over. Before long, my coat was soaked. But I realised just how bad things had become when I went to the toilet before Oasis arrived on stage. While I felt safe, apart from the odd beer shower, someone in my row did slip and fall on his way out onto the steps. So when I started climbing down the steep staircase, I kept my hands firmly on the handrail to avoid getting knocked over in the crowd. However, others weren't so lucky. I saw several people slip, and one person even fell down, although he didn't get hurt. At the front of the tier, there were barriers and signs telling people not to stand. But many supporters seemed to ignore this warning as they danced their way through the evening. At the end of the night, after the epic Champagne Supernova encore and fireworks, we decided to let everyone else leave in front of us. The mass exit was as chaotic as you can imagine, and several people, including me, shouted warnings behind them about how slippy it was. Fan experiences My experience was echoed by others on social media. One Oasis fan took to Facebook on August 4 to share: "There was a girl at Wembley last night who slipped over and dislocated her knee in the concourse, my wife and I got her some help and she was taken away with her friend. "Somehow my wife spotted her afterwards and we found out she was still able to watch the gig after strapping up and use of a wheelchair which was great news, not sure if she'll see this but I hope you're OK and recovery isn't too bad!! Take care on the slippery floors people." Another replied, saying: "My friend fell as well due to slippery floor. Got straight back up and we sang our hearts out and danced the rest of the night." A third wrote: "I see a man fall on the steps going down to the floor, he was really injured, blood pouring from elbow and he looked concussed. Can't believe how many people I see slip on those steps." Despite this, other attendees said they had no issues when they went to the tour. A member of an Oasis fan group said: "18 years worth of events, most with 90,000 people attending, and never an incident like it. It's a tragic accident, and blaming it on the venue or security is ridiculous." On Reddit, another said: "I went Wednesday and literally saw no drunks or trouble anywhere (queuing for the tube for an hour too)." And a third wrote: "I was in the gods-ish. Everybody seemed relatively well behaved tonight to be honest." Wembley's response When asked to comment on this story, a Wembley Stadium spokesperson said: "Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard. "We are regularly inspected by certifying authorities both on an event day and throughout the year, and we regularly review and test our plans to ensure adherence to the conditions set within the stadium's general safety certificate. "We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders - including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Ground Safety Authority and the police - to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue."

Fans have been gearing up to come and see brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to take to the stage at the home of Scottish rugby. The upcoming shows will mark the pair's first performance together in Scotland in 15 years. And crews have been rushing to get the Edinburgh stadium ready for the packed shows. Drone footage from above the stadium shows a huge stage is in the process of being set up for the Stop Crying Your Heart Out rockers' performances. Workers could also be seen moving pieces of the stage into place. Equipment boxes were also seen scattered throughout the main grounds of the stadium ahead of the show. Two large structures are currently being built next to the main stage for screens. And two other similar structures are being built in a space opposite the stage. It is thought that these could be another set of large screens for fans inside the stadium. Oasis superfans form huge queue down Scots street to bag gig merch as buzz around Edinburgh shows begins It comes as hundreds of Oasis fans queued up for hours to be among the first to enter the band's new pop-up store in Edinburgh. Punters started to arrive at the shop on George Street in the capital from 8am on Monday, two hours before the doors opened. Many were keen to get their hands on some exclusive merchandise, including posters, vinyl and Adidas products. Among them was Louise MacKenzie from Glasgow, who made the trip to get her hands on a new top. Louise said: 'I bought the two Adidas tops with some vinyl and a poster. 'This bundle cost me £215. But it is worth it, though. It has been so difficult to get this stuff online.' Pierce Sheridan, 39, from Edinburgh, was delighted with his haul. He said: 'I got my Adidas bucket hat, a poster and a few other things. I even got a babygrow for my little nephew. 'I'm going to the gig on Saturday, so I am really looking forward to that. 'I wasn't really looking at the cost, I just tapped the card.' Alex Drummond, 15, made the trip from Skye with his dad. He said: 'I am buzzing to get my merch as I am going to the gig on Friday. 'I really want the new football top, so I hope they still have them. I expect to pay over £100 today. All my pay has gone towards this.' Richard Bell, 45, said: "I got a poster and some records, and I also got the programme. "I've just spent over £150 on this lot. 'I think it's great that they have the shop. The Beatles did it, so if fans want to go and buy stuff, they should. 'I can't wait until Friday, as I am going to the gig. 'However, I won't have any of the new Adidas stuff on as I will be wearing a vintage 90's t-shirt.' The pop-up shop is expected to remain open until the final gig on Tuesday so that revellers can get their hands on exclusive merchandise and vinyl. There will be a huge range of Oasis Live '25 clothing and accessories on offer, including limited items and special brand collaborations. 7 A merchandise area was also being set up at the stadium today Credit: Andrew Barr 7 Signs have been erected around the stadium today Credit: Andrew Barr
