To the astonishment of other mountaineers.The footie-mad bird has even tapped into the Old Firm rivalry and goads his Rangers-fan owner about it by yelling 'C'mon the Hoops'.Munros are mountains in Scotland over 3,000 feet and Lara hopes to climb the tallest, Ben Nevis, accompanied by Piper this summer.
