But some of those celebrations have annoyed a number of spectators and viewers watching on through their TV sets as the travelling support unleashed all sorts of sounds and spectacles to announce their arrival in Stranraer.

And it wasn’t met with particular approval.

The game was delayed by a couple of minutes as a result and annoyance levels increased.

Maybe they were just celebrating Carlton Cole’s full debut.
