With over 100k views already, hundreds of Scottish football fans have taken to the comments to express their glee or their disapproval. "The fact you're a Celtic fan you're 100x better," said one fan, while another added: "Was a fan before hand love everything you've brought out but just gone up in my opinion, hail hail." "This just made you better mon the Hoops," wrote one while another fan commented 'thought you couldn't get better'. But Rangers supporters were also quick to oppose with a flood of red, white and blue emojis. One said: "NOOOO you were one of my favourite musicians, why Celtic?!?" and another posted 'not a fan anymore sorry bro'. "Love your music but you picked the wrong side," one wrote, while another fumed: "Myles Smith absolutely ruined having that top on." It was the final straw for some, who said: "Guess you are off my playlist now," as well as: "Man I love your music but can't believe you've got that top on, come on mate." A third camp let their voice be heard in the replies as some Aberdeen fans came to take a pop following their Scottish Cup success over Brendan Rodgers' side at the weekend. They won on penalties on Saturday to lift the trophy for the first time in 35 years, with some writing 'stand free' and 'come on the Dandy Dons'.

Known mostly for the hits Stargazing and Nice To Meet You, the 26-year-old was recently crowned the 2025 BRIT Awards 'Rising Star'. He also regularly faces jokes about his likeness to a well known footballer, as he wore a t-shirt brandishing the message 'I swear I'm not Divock Origi' on stage at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend festival. The Belgian was a Champions League winner with Liverpool and was most recently at Nottingham Forrest on loan from AC Milan. 5 Myles Smith at Radio 1 Big Weekend Credit: SplashNews 5 Former Liverpool player Divock Origi Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page

Myles Smith 'was caught off-guard' by recognition
Myles Smith "never imagined" being named on Time 100's list of most influential people. The 26-year-old star has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last year, and Myles has admitted to being caught "off-guard" when he was named alongside the likes of Serena Williams and Mark Zuckerberg on the prestigious Time 100 list. He told the BBC: "That one caught me off guard. I never imagined I'd end up in it. It's mad. "I think I just felt really grateful, you know? To be recognised on that level for doing something I love." Myles' 2024 single, 'Stargazing', has already been streamed more than one billion times, and he's been amazed by the song's success. He said: "You always hope people connect with a song, but 'Stargazing' just seemed to take on a life of its own." Asked why the single has become so popular, Myles replied: "I think it's the honesty in it - everyone's either been through heartbreak or held on to hope when they probably shouldn't have. "It's simple, but it's real. And I think people felt that." Myles is determined to achieve sustained success. The singer has previously been described as an overnight success - but Myles doesn't look at his career in that way. He recently told The Independent: "I wish it was as magical as an overnight switch, but it didn't feel quick. For me, I'm 15 years in." Myles isn't motivated by short-term success. Instead, he wants to achieve longevity within the music business. He shared: "So many decisions that I've made have been because I didn't want it to be one song and done, or one song followed by capitalising with every single opportunity to make money. "I've made some really bad financial decisions and turned down really great opportunities because I don't want to just disappear overnight." Myles believes aspiring musicians should always have some kind of fallback career options. The 'Solo' hitmaker actually likened the life of an aspiring musician to that of an up-and-coming soccer player. The award-winning star reflected: "You have people playing literally their entire lives and they're great and then at 17, they're dropped because of an injury – and then what happens? "I know others say differently, but I think going down the education route is so wise before getting into this world because it will save you half the problems that I see a lot of artists get themselves into."

My life has changed massively, says Myles Smith
Myles Smith's life has changed "massively" over the last year. The 26-year-old musician has enjoyed a meteoric rise over the last 12 months, after initially developing a fan following through TikTok - but Myles hasn't allowed his recent success to change him. Speaking to the BBC, the 'Stargazing' hitmaker explained: "Eighteen months ago, I was still figuring a lot of things out. "Now I'm touring, releasing music that's reaching people all over the world, meeting heroes of mine. "But at the same time, I'm still just me. Still grounded in the same values. Still got the same people around me." Myles' friends and family have helped him to remain balanced. The singer shared: "I try to stay close to my people. My family, my team, my friends - they keep me level. "And I write. Even if it's not for a song, just getting stuff out helps. "And when I can, I get home. There's something about being back in Luton that resets everything for me." Myles believes he's been "shaped" as an artist by his upbringing in Luton, England. He explained: "I had a music teacher who really believed in me - and my mum, always pushing me to keep going, even when I wasn't sure. "I used to play little open mics, local gigs when I could find them. Nothing glamorous, but those nights taught me a lot. "Luton's always been home. It shaped me." Asked what advice he'd offer to young musicians in Luton, Myles replied: "Don't wait for permission. If you love it, do it. Write the songs, upload them, play the gigs - no matter how small. "Keep going even when it feels like no-one's listening, because someone will. "I'm proof that you don't have to come from a big city or a fancy school to make it work. You've just got to stay honest and consistent." Myles loves spending time with his fans. However, the 'Nice to Meet You' hitmaker is also keen to take some time to reflect on his recent success. He said: "Honestly, I'm just looking forward to connecting with more people. That's always been the best part of this. And maybe, if I'm lucky, a bit of time to breathe and take it all in."
