A Scottish singer who was drafted in to support Take That 40 minutes before the show has told of his 'amazing' night, saying it's 'hard to take in'.
Daniel Rooney, who hails from Glasgow, was performing a gig at the Radisson RED hotel bar beside the OVO Hydro where the iconic band were set to perform to an adoring crowd.
However, when support act Olly Murs shared on social media that he was stuck in London and was unable to perform - less than an hour before the show was set to begin - Daniel saved the day by taking his place and putting on an 'incredible' performance which fans loved.
The gobsmacked singer said after his Hydro performance: “It’s hard to take it in, it’s really surreal.

“It was great, I got some good singalongs with the crowd etc and it felt like they were really behind me.
“I know some people were not happy about Olly but as soon as I went up and had a chat they were brilliant."
Hollywood TV and film star Ross King was at the show and loved Daniel – so told Take That frontman Gary Barlow he was great, and asked Daniel if he could ditch his gig and open for the band, an opportunity that he jumped at.
He continued: "Ross went up first and announced what was going on, he explained I was playing in Radisson RED when Gary asked him to help so he came up to me and asked me to play the Hydro instead.
“I still had 45 minutes to go at the hotel but what can you do with something like this – but they’re really happy for me.”
Daniel then headed back to the hotel to join bandmate John McLaughlin of Johnny Mac and the The Faithful,
