8 WWE Superstars who are avid soccer fans (and their favorite football club)

#7 Drew McIntyre (WWE RAW) - Rangers F.C.

Drew McIntyre has an immense amount of love for Rangers

While WWE Superstar Sheamus backs Liverpool, his real-life friend Drew McIntyre supports the Scottish football club, Rangers. McIntyre roots for the Glasgow-based team that competes in the Scottish Premiership and the UEFA Europa League. His team has won the Scottish League 55 times, which is a domestic league world record.

Rangers F.C. won the Scottish Premiership this year to lift their first top-flight title in 10 years. After battling against financial conditions earlier in the decade, the Scottish side is back to challenging the top sides in the country. They are one of the most successful football clubs in the world in terms of silverware.

McIntyre has long associated himself with Rangers Football Club. The two-time WWE Champion is the biggest face in the promotion at the moment. He has fought against challenging times and certainly sees a reflection of his growth at his football club. He is one of the few WWE Superstars who have remained loyal to their club since they first started watching football.
