DRINKERS in Glasgow got more than they bargained for last night when they turned up for games night at the city's Waterloo bar.

Instead of enjoying a pint and a bit of fun in the Play Your Cards Right, they were stunned when a criminally talented Police Scotland cop stole the show.

Identified only as 'Sergeant John', the officer had been attending an incident at the pub on the corner of Argyle Street and Wellington Street.

Peter McKenna-Boyd was having a few with his mates when it all happened and explains: "Something was going on outside and the police arrived to sort it out.

"They came in and asked questions and started looking at CCTV tapes.

"While a couple of officers were doing that, the karaoke host tried to get one of the police officers up onto the stage to sing."

Peter, 21, couldn't believe it when the game-for-a-laugh Sergeant took up the offer and got up to do a chorus of Gloria Gaymor's 'I Will Survive'.

"Everybody was just shocked he did it. He tried to stop after one verse but the crowd were loving it and wouldn't let him.

"He was even pointing his finger in the air to the lyrics "You're not welcome any more."

Peter filmed the whole thing on his cameraphone and says the other policemen couldn't believe it.

"When he started singing, some of the other cops were outside, but they quickly piled in to watch."

After Sergeant John took a bow, he went back to the investigations.

But Peter says that wasn't the end of the fun.

Police Scotland 's finest helped ensure the Play Your Cards Right game was all strictly legal after the host insisted one of the other officers shuffle the cards.

The hilarious incident follows several other events where Police Scotland showed a great sense of humour.

The force was one of the first to join in the running man challenge set by cops in the US when it posted a video of officers dancing at Edinburgh Castle .

And a few months ago a couple of police officers became an internet sensation after two young boys who'd been offered a lift in a squad car filmed them singing and rapping along to the Barenaked Ladies hit One Week.

Do you know who the singing cop is?
