A woman has revealed her overprotective grandad's hilarious list of ten 'rules' for any potential suitors wishing to woo her.

Amie McHugh, 21, from Airdrie, Lanarkshire, shared the original WhatsApp list with her Twitter followers and captioned the post: 'Howlin at ma granda's rules for ma boyfriend.'

The strict list of requirements included the fact that any future boyfriend must be 'financially well off', must 'never look at another girl' while in the relationship and must he must be 'very kind.'

And while many found her grandad's rules endearing, others paid particular attention to his final one: 'Whenever in my company he must offer to pay the bill.'

'I keep rereading this. I'm so in love with him,' commented one, while another said: 'I love how he's got to pay for your granda, too. Very, very important.'

After sharing the post, it quickly went viral and racked up over 6, 125 likes and hundreds of comments from amused readers

Other rules included: He must be Roman Catholic and a Celtic supporter, he must be working and must have a car. While the final two highlighted the importance he liked the suitor and that the feeling was reciprocated.

The post has since been liked over 6.1k times and while there are ten strict instructions already, Amie's grandad goes on to imply there may be more to come: 'OK that's so so far....' he wrote, before signing off.

And if the responses are anything to go by, Amie will soon be writing a list of rules for him to follow - as social media users fell in love.

'I am crying, I think I'm in love with him,' wrote one, while another similarly penned: 'Love him.'

While one said Amie's granda was a 'wise man,' others declared their love for his caring and protective nature: 'I am crying, I think I'm in love with him,' wrote one

Meanwhile, a further expressed how the Scot's grandad was 'bang on the money' and another dubbed him a 'wise man.'

But there was one particular rule that really got people's attention - the one involving the fact he wished to always be paid for.

The Scot's grandad wrote a strict list of ten rules for anyone looking to date his granddaughter. These included: 'He must be financially well off, must ' never look at another girl' while in the relationship and must he must be a 'Celtic supporter.' Amie pictured above

While her grandad signed off the message saying 'Ok that's it so far,' Amie (above) joked: 'Hopefully he doesn't come up with any more'

'Is he wanting his dinner paid for ha,' wrote one, who couldn't quite believe what she was reading, and another commented: 'A fit the bill,' followed by a laughing emoji.

A further joked that no one was going to stick by the rules: 'You're going to be single forever.'

Many social media users were particularly amused by rule number 10 which read: 'Whenever in my company he must offer to pay the bill

Meanwhile, others found the strict list of rules very relatable and compared Amie's grandad to members of their own families.

'This is papa so much,' joked one, while another admitted: 'That's me with my daughter. She never listens though.'

But bringing the discussion to a close, Amie hoped her grandad wasn't going to introduce an eleventh rule: 'Hopefully he doesn't come up with any more.'
