Oasis superfan gets Murrayfield ticket tattoo ahead of Edinburgh dates
An Oasis superfan is feeling supersonic after tattooing her Murrayfield ticket on her arm ahead of the band's upcoming Edinburgh shows.
Shannon Rattray, 29, was born at the height of Oasis mania in 1995 and has longed to see the Britpop legends her entire life.
Her parents, Sharon, 51, and Donald, 59, also loved the band, but never got to experience the Gallagher brothers in concert because they were too busy bringing up Shannon and her siblings.
When Oasis broke up in 2009, the family, from Midlothian, thought they'd would never get the chance to see them live.
But when the group announced their reunion tour, Shannon managed to bag four tickets for August 12 in the capital.
She will go to the gig with her mum and dad and boyfriend, Kai, also 29.
The mum -of-two told the Record: 'I have waited for this moment for nearly 30 years so I wanted something to mark it that will last forever. I might be slightly mad for doing it, but this concert means the absolute world to me.
"I was brought up listening to Oasis and my mum and dad never got round to seeing them because they were raising me and my siblings.
"When we saw the announcement that they were coming back, I sat in the queue for hours for tickets.
"When I got them, I was crying and jumping about with excitement. It was such a special moment being able to call my mum and tell her that her dream of seeing Oasis live was coming true!
"I cried down the phone to her.
'As a family have spoken about how we've wanted Oasis to get back together so many times and I have spent countless occasions belting out their songs with my parents.
'The fact that we never thought this would happen again makes it even more special."
Shannon decided to cement her special memory in ink on July 23.
She continued: "It was by pure chance that the tattoo artist that I had contacted had space before the gig, so I thought know you what I am just going to go for it.
"Some might say I am absolutely ridiculous for getting it done, especially given their track record of falling out, but hey, if they break up before the gig it will be a hilarious story to tell."

Who is Hayley in EastEnders and what happened to her?
Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) has told a multitude of lies to cover his tracks in EastEnders – with wife Kat (Jessie Wallace) currently believing that he's been searching for former Albert Square resident Hayley Slater. As we all know, he's actually been on the lookout for Kat's estranged daughter Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan), who fled London for Barcelona after telling him that she'd done something 'so bad' that her family would disown her. Initially saying that he was in Australia visiting brother Spencer (Christopher Parker), the fib unravelled and Stacey Slater (Lacey Turner) was forced to cover again. She said that Alfie had suffered a cancer scare, and was in Spain trying to clear his head. However, in the last week, he reached out to Stace' to ask for €50,000 in order to pay off some dodgy fellas that had information on Zoe. She initially agreed, but was full of regret after promising the cash to Kat, who planned to use it as a deposit on The Queen Vic. Stacey's mum Jean (Gillian Wright) got wind of something suspicious happening, and assumed that the money was actually going to go to Hayley and her daughter Cherry. Stacey changed her mind on handing over the dough to Alfie, realising that it would be better spent by Kat. But as she set up home behind the bar, Jean dropped Hayley into conversation, and Kat was left furious. But who is Hayley, and what does she have to do with Alfie? Hayley Slater, played by actress Katie Jarvis, is the first cousin of Stacey. This makes her a distant cousin of Kat. She arrived in Walford in 2018, concealing a pregnancy from her family. It soon transpired that the father of the child was none other than Alfie! He told her that his heart was still with Kat, and he didn't want to have her child. After arranging an appointment at an abortion clinic, she got drunk and forgot to attend. Later, she went into labour and decided to drive herself out of the area in her uncle Charlie's (Derek Martin) taxi. The vehicle broke down and she was forced to give birth in a drug den. Shortly afterwards, Alfie reunited with Kat and was stunned to learn that she hadn't aborted her pregnancy after all. Her child was his daughter. They named her Cherry after his late mum. Hayley decided to leave when Stacey discovered Cherry's paternity and saw her kissing Alfie. She left a lock of the child's hair with Alfie, which was later discovered by Kat.

‘Premier League should be trembling' – Fans in meltdown as Pep Guardiola shows off shock new look
PEP GUARDIOLA has sent Premier League fans into meltdown after he debuted a stunning new look. The Manchester City boss is hoping to mastermind his squad back to winning ways next season after finishing third in the league and going trophyless. 3 3 3 City's squad returns to pre-season on July 28 following their exploits in the Club World Cup.

The new look quickly went viral as fans discussed it. One fan said: "The league is not ready for a bald moustache Josep Guardiola." A second said: "You can't just post 'Pep Guardiola' now has a moustache' and expect us to get on with our lives." A third added: "Bro what???" A fourth said: "Premier League should be trembling now." A fifth said: "Pep Guardiola saw the announcement of the start of production for the fourth season of Ted Lasso and decided to pay tribute to his idol." Ted Lasso recently announced its return for a fourth season, but Guardiola previously appeared in the last episode of season three of the Apple TV show, which he is a big fan of. Pep Guardiola and stunning daughter Maria belt out Oasis classic as Man City boss parties with Gallagher family at gig Guardiola could have even been inspired by a moustache he saw in 2021. He told TNT Sports correspondent Fred Caldeira at the time: "I really like your moustache, Fred. "You are so attractive and sexy." And he may be hoping the new look can give City a fresh push towards silverware. City have a pre-season game against Palermo on August 9. They then kick-off their Premier League season with an away trip to Wolves. Tottenham then visit the Etihad for City's first home game of the campaign.

John seeks help in Emmerdale spoiler video in shock plan to get rid of Robert
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) discovers some new information about Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) in Emmerdale soon. The two siblings have been involved in a tense back and forth ever since Robert returned to the village. For John, he wants to get rid of Robert because he's worried about him getting back with Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller). For Robert, he wants to see the back of John because he's utterly convinced he is bad news. Robert is absolutely right but whenever he expresses this theory, no one believes him due to them assuming he's just jealous of Aaron's relationship with his brother. In upcoming episodes, Robert will get closer to the truth about John when he learns about all the times he's saved the lives of villagers. It leaves him terribly suspicious, and then spies an opportunity to get more information on his brother when he leaves his phone unattended. When Robert hands the device back, John thinks the entire interaction is odd. He voices his concerns to Chas (Lucy Pargeter), and then word about Robert's weird behaviour gets back to Vic (Isabel Hodgins), who thinks he needs some help. More Trending Robert refuses, but John then decides he can get Liam (Jonny McPherson) to talk to him instead. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?
