RANGERS star James Sands is related to one of music’s biggest rising stars, we can reveal.
The 22-year-old midfielder, who joined the club from New York City FC a year ago, may have no musical talent himself.
But the Rangers star’s cousin Charlotte Sands, 25, has previously supported huge acts like My Chemical Romance and YUNGBLUD as well as her tracks boasting 135million streams.
The USA international recently reunited with his cousin in Glasgow after she arrived to play a gig in the city on the same bill as PVRIS.
Charlotte, who used to play football with James, told us: “I was so happy to get to see James in Glasgow and am forever so proud of him and his accomplishments.
“Scotland is lucky to have him and I can’t wait to be back soon to catch a game.”
Charlotte has also just released her new single Alright.
Her success comes after she risked it all by leaving her home in Massachusetts and relocating to Nashville to chase her dreams.
She adds: “Alright is about having hope when it feels nearly impossible and forcing yourself to see the light at the end of the tunnel, holding onto even the slightest chance that it will get better.
“We wrote this song with the hope that it could remind even one person that life does go on and nothing is forever.
“The future can be so daunting especially in times of uncertainty, and it can so often feel like you’re stuck without a way out, but this song is a sign to keep moving forward because it will get better.”
As for her cousin James, his future at Rangers is still up in the air.
His loan deal ends in the summer with an option to buy reportedly set at a hefty £4.7m.
Having been used sparingly by manager Michael Beale, it remains to be seen how if he fits into the long-term plans at Ibrox.
