Some fought through tooth and nail when the general sale went live. Others rushed to the pre-sale. Plenty paid hundreds of pounds for second-hand briefs.

But one former Celtic star managed to get his for FREE!
Cillian Sheridan's footie career has taken him all around the world... and he's now here to spread the word on how he blagged a brief completely scot-free.
The 36-year-old started his pro career in Glasgow's east end but has since played in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Poland, Australia and Israel.
In addition to the Hoops, he has starred in Scotland for Motherwell, St Johnstone, Kilmarnock, Dundee, Inverness and Queen's Park and is currently at Brechin City.
Now as a part-time footballer, Sheridan was able to slide away during the week to attend the legendary Manchester group's third and final comeback concert at Murrayfield Stadium.
The capital venue hosted around 70,000 fans each night, including two former Celtic heroes in Neil Lennon and Simon Donnelly.
Joining them was Sheridan - but his route to the capital was rather different.
He revealed that he met frontman Liam Gallagher at his hotel after playing a round of golf.
Sheridan teed it up at the famous Gleneagles and on the way back to his car after his round, he bumped into the singer - and crucially he DIDN'T ask for a photo.
He said: "Here's my hack to Oasis tickets.
Ex-Celtic star goes wild as he does the huddle at Oasis gig with 70,000 fans
"Go for a round of golf in the morning, on your way back to your car bump into Liam Gallagher at his hotel.
"Here's the important bit. DON'T ask for a photo, instead chance your arm & ask for a ticket!
"Not how I thought my day would pan out! Legend!"
Sheridan included the words alongside a picture of his view at the gig, revelling with the other fans in the Scottish sunshine.
Given Sheridan's heritage, one fan posited one theory as to how he ended up with a free ticket.
They said: "Luck of the Irish."

The childhood sweethearts had started dating in 2015, and Emily was heartbroken when Ryan was sent home after a sing off against divisive rapper, Honey G. However, there were only tears of joy on Friday when the couple tied the knot in a stunning ceremony near Glasgow. Emily, 26, shared a series of snaps from her big day on Instagram and captioned them: "Mr & Mrs Lawrie." The singer - who performs under the name ili - looked beautiful in a flowing wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline. Meanwhile Ryan - who writes songs for other artists under the moniker KoolKid - wore a traditional Scottish kilt. One picture saw Ryan sweep his new wife into his arms and tilt her backwards for a kiss at the altar, while another showed the newlyweds laughing as they cuddled on the grass in the sunshine. The couple were also seen taking to the dancefloor at their reception for their first dance, with their friends and family all crowded around to watch. Later, Emily switched into a second dress so she could really bust a move. It was a short, strapless white dress covered in pearls and she teamed it with a silver pair of Crocs. Ryan Lawrie admits he wants to win X Factor over girlfriend Emily Middlemas After their big day, Ryan reposted the snaps of their wedding as well as a picture of their new 'Mr and Mrs' mugs. He wrote: "Thank you to everyone who attended our big day & for all your beautiful cards/gifts. It means the world to us. Lots of love." Their wedding comes three years after Ryan proposed at the Giza Pyramids in Egypt in June 2022. 5 Ryan was sent home after a sing off with Honey G Credit: Splash News

Oasis' Croke Park concert LIVE: Noel Gallagher mobbed as he makes pub visit
Oasis are just an hour away from their first Irish gig in 16 years. Noel and Liam Gallagher are tonight headlining Dublin's Croke Park, joined by Cast and Richard Ashcroft. The once warning brothers will perform at the national stadium tonight, with a second concert tomorrow – playing their biggest hits to around 164,000 die-hard fans. But Dublin also holds a special place in the Gallagher's hearts. The Mancunian brothers have spoken about their ties to Ireland through their Irish-born parents, Peggy and Thomas. Dublin is the fifth stop on the mammoth Oasis Live'25 tour, having already performed in Cardiff, Manchester, London and Edinburgh. After tomorrow's show, they'll have a short break before heading over to Canada to complete the rest of the world leg of the tour. But before taking to the stage, Noel had hoped to have a quiet drink in the city; however, he was mobbed by fans, but made time to chat to them and sign memorabilia. The concert comes just days after a fan who had travelled from Italy to see the band perform in Edinburgh sadly died just hours before the concert. We'll be bringing you live updates throughout the night. 19:31Daniel Bird What time are Oasis on stage? Noel, Liam, Bonehead, Andy Bell and Gem Archer are due on stage in less than an hour. They are scheduled to walk out at 8:15, to F***in' in the Bushes before belting out Hello. Their set is set to last for two hours, and each night on previous dates, they have finished on time. 19:26Daniel Bird Noel mobbed by fans Noel had hoped for a quiet drink at Brady's Clockhouse in Maynooth but was left surrounded by fans. He didn't seem fazed, though, as the Britpop icon posed for photos with fans and signed autographs. An Oasis fan who bumped into Noel in the pub described him as "bang on" and "like a normal lad". Ryan King managed to meet Noel before he returned to his hotel - and even secured an autograph on his bucket hat. Speaking to the Irish Mirror, he revealed: "The security told us to leave him but he said 'Come on' and he signed a T-shirt, a hat and a few vinyls for the lads. "He was nice, he was bang on, he's like a normal lad."

Easson's Scotland team determined to make their mark on women's Rugby World Cup
Scotland head coach Bryan Easson says his side are looking to 'make their mark on the world stage' with an improved performance at the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup. Easson, who will leave his role post tournament, wants Scotland to bounce back from their disappointment of the last World Cup campaign — which saw his side defeated in all of their pool games in New Zealand. The Scots, who kick off against Wales next weekend, head into the competition on the back of two defeats against Italy and Ireland, but Easson is adamant his side are in a better place, as they prepare for their Cup opener in England. 'I think we have improved,' Easson insisted. 'If you look at the last two or three years, we've been in the games. Every game we go into now, we expect to win. We've got real belief in the group, we've got real belief in each other. 'There's some really, really good rugby players, some world-class rugby players in there as well, and it's our job to make sure that everybody is singing off the same hymn sheet. 'Yes, we do want to make our mark on the world stage. It's a World Cup, and we don't want to just go and enjoy it and make up the numbers.' Defeats to Wales, Australia and New Zealand at the previous iteration undoubtedly still rankles. Leaving without a win was a serious blow — and Easson admits his side were well below-par in the matches they played out. 'I'll be honest, I was really frustrated after the last World Cup in New Zealand, because I didn't think we were good enough. 'We've probably changed our prep around this one a little bit. We probably did too much prep-wise and then when we got there it was kind of 'We're here now', whereas we've kind of built up and it's about the event now. We've learned a lot around that and I think we're in a pretty good spot.' Certainly, Scotland have gained a well of experience since their trip to the Southern Hemisphere. As well as a brief stint at No 5 in the world, they've taken home the WXV2 title in Canada, and had a run of seven wins on the trot in 2023 and 2024. They now prepare for a stint against Wales, Fiji and Canada in Pool B, with a challenging opener against the Welsh — a side they beat 24-21 in this year's Six Nations. That, however, could count for little on the day — as Wales continue to improve under head coach, Sean Lynn. 'Scotland-Wales games are always difficult,' admitted the Scotland coach. 'These games have been tight over the last few years. 'We know how physical Wales are. We know exactly what to expect. We've played against them I don't know how many times recently. 'We've played them before at WXV as well. We know each other inside out. The players play against each other, whether it be Celtic Challenge or PWR. So we know it's going to be physical. We know it's going to come down to 80 minutes. 'The last World Cup game was 82 minutes. Six Nations games have been 78, 79, 80 minutes as well. The girls have worked really hard on the fitness. 'You saw it from the game against Italy. We finished off really well. We saw the game against Ireland and we started really well. 'I feel we're in a good space. We are well prepared and we just want to go now.' According to Easson, the arrival of attack coach Steve Shingler is already making an impact. The former player came in to Scottish Rugby in June, on secondment from PWR side Ealing Trailfinders Women, and Easson says the ex-Scarlets, London Irish, Cardiff, Mont-de-Marsan and Trailfinders man has impressed so far in his work within the Scotland camp. 'Yes, he has,' expressed Easson. 'I like the way he works. Obviously, we've sat down quite a lot. 'The two of us have worked quite closely, looking at our strengths in terms of individuals. We've designed a lot of plays around certain individuals and how we want to look at stuff. But obviously, a lot of plays are designed around what we've seen in Wales, too. 'We've not given too much away in terms of Italy and Ireland. We've looked at some shapes and structures, but you've got to keep some stuff up your sleeve as well.' That, indeed, could prove critical when it comes to their pool dynamics. Canada are roundly being seen as the tournament's 'dark horses', and will be confident of topping their group. Scotland's match against Wales therefore, could prove pivotal in terms of progression to the quarter-finals. The top two from each pool make it through to the last eight in the 16-team tournament, and a quarter-final place is achievable for Easson's team. 'Yes, of course. World Cups are different, aren't they, because you do get the opportunity in pre-season to get your squad together for a little bit longer,' he said. 'Going into a Six Nations you potentially have a week to two weeks maximum. 'We have had five, six weeks together plus two Test matches, so eight or nine weeks to be able to look at our fitness and the way we want to play. We obviously don't want to play exactly the way we did in the Six Nations. We've looked at our strengths and weaknesses. Wales are doing the same. 'We've focused on Wales. We're not looking beyond Wales. We're not looking at Fiji or Canada — we're looking at the first one and then we'll move on after that. 'We know the challenge that's ahead of us. And we're not taking it lightly and I'm sure Wales are the same.'
