Rangers fan who plummeted 20ft after failed handstand miraculously unharmed
A RANGERS fan had a miracle escape yesterday after plunging 20ft onto a concrete floor ahead of his side's friendly game with Red Bull Leipzig.
A Rangers fan fell onto hard concrete from a 20 foot fall in Germany
The supporter, known only as "Parky" was among 8,000 Bears who travelled to eastern German city for the game.
Horrified onlookers claimed the fan toppled over while attempting to do a handstand on the top of a railing but lost his balance.
But despite their concerns, "Parky" was later able to rejoin his pals in the away section of the Red Bull Arena before watching his team lose 4-0.
The man fell after a failed handstand attempt
The Ibrox Loyal Facebook page wrote: "The Rangers fan that fell from the railing is fine, and is back in the stands watching the game! Albeit with a Prso style headband!"
A translated Tweet on the Geran's club official account said: "The Rangers fan, who crashed into the interior after a handstand attempt on the guest block railing, is only slightly injured."
Three other supporters travelling to the game were arrested after allegedly groping members of the cabin crew on their flight.
