Olly Murs praises Glasgow singer after he stands in at Take That Hydro show

Olly Murs has praised a Glasgow singer after he replaced the English star as Take That's support act at their Friday night Hydro gig.

Daniel Rooney was drafted in last minute after showbiz correspondent Ross King heard him performing in the Radisson RED hotel moments before doors opened for the show.

Ross was enjoying a meal in the bar where Daniel was performing as news broke that flights from London had been cancelled, meaning Olly could no longer open the show that evening.

Take That's Gary Barlow then text Ross to see if he had any ideas as a plan B and Ross suggested that the singer in the bar could be an apt replacement.

Ross then asked a waiter to go to Daniel and tell him that he had a 'life changing opportunity' for him and could he come over to have a chat.

The Record reports that the pair then rushed over to the Hydro and Daniel took to the stage in clips which have since gone viral.

Speaking to Ross about his replacement on Friday night, after he eventually made it to Glasgow the following day, Olly said: "For the young lad to come out after just singing in the bar, imagine that? You're in a bar 30 minutes before singing to a few hundred people then to go right there's 10,000 people here needing entertaining! That's amazing, fair play to him! Credit to him, when I heard about that I thought, yeah I love that!"

Daniel said: "I am a massive (Take That) fan now! What a show they put on and the guys too, I met them before and after the show, they are brilliant."

Take That played three nights at the Hydro to sold out crowds.

Amongst the fans was Still Game star Jane McCarry, who plays Isa Drennan, and she had fans in stitches of laughter at the end of the gig as she went on a mission to collect disposed reusable cups in a bid to get some cash back.

However, her character Isa was out in full force after being told that the money incentive is no longer active at the Hydro, despite her collecting a bunch of them stacked up high.

In an online clip, she looked extremely disappointed as she was told she wouldn't receive a single penny despite her efforts.

In the voice of Isa, she said: "This is damnable!"
