One of Scottish football’s most unlikely fans showed his colours as he took in the sights in Edinburgh.
Former Knight Rider star David Hasselhoff was sporting a Partick Thistle shirt in the Instagram snaps taken ahead of his appearance at Comic Con in the Scottish capital.
The 65-year-old wrote: “Love Edinburgh – Come on the Jags! See you at Comicon Scotland at the EICC Saturday and Sunday ‘Don’t haggis the Hoff'”
Hasselhoff has previously talked about how his love for the Jags grew during a stint appearing in panto in Glasgow.
He told BBC Scotland in 2015: “They’ve been around since 1876 and I love that. It’s about playing for themselves and playing for your honour.”
.@ThistleTweet even though you might be 20,000 leagues under the sea the Hoff still supports you! Come and see #peterpan panto @SECCGlasgow

He also described himself as the club’s “lucky mascot”.
The Jags need all the support they can get at the moment.
Gary Caldwell’s side are eighth in the Championship having lost their last six matches.
Once a Jag always a Jag! The Hoff is always welcome at The Energy Check Stadium at Firhill!❤️💛https://t.co/x4WfuNIHko pic.twitter.com/qoMvLCvitj
