Josh Rock Keeps Rangers Walk-On in Glasgow, Taunts Celtic Fans, Then Falls 6-2 to Luke Humphries

The Glasgow crowd’s reaction reflected Old Firm loyalties, with his walk-on serving as a statement of identity.

Overview

  • Rock cupped his ears and flashed a 3-1 sign referencing Rangers’ recent win over Celtic as boos and cheers met his walk-on at the OVO Hydro.
  • He kept his entrance music, ‘Welcome to the Party’ by DJ Krissy, a track embraced by Rangers fans, after previously saying a switch was blocked by the PDC before last year’s World Matchplay.
  • A 140 checkout in the opening leg prompted sections of the arena to chant his name and “Danny Rohl” to the same tune.
  • The 6-2 defeat to Luke Humphries left the World No. 9 without a point after three Premier League nights in his debut campaign.
  • Following soap-related grip problems in Antwerp, Rock now carries chalk and wax as a contingency for future matches.
