Stalker Jill Sharp opens Airdrie market stall flogging Rangers and Celtic gear

Locally infamous stalker Jill Sharp has started flogging football merchandise from a stall set up in Airdrie market.

Airdrie's Sharp, 32, has opened The Corner Kick just a few months after she was put behind bars for causing fear and alarm to ex-pals Steven and Margaret Paton between January 2014 and August 2017.

However, the disliked Rangers fan was released after serving only three months, equating to one quarter, of her sentence.

She gloated online and posted photos while posing with champagne in a hot tub.

Sharp has now began punting the football items from the Graham Street market after setting it up on July 11, just before she was jailed.

Footage on social media shows Sharp serving from the stall counter in a black and white striped top.

Locals took to social media to blast the notorious Gers fan.

Sharp, 33, created fake online profiles as she tormented Margaret, 58, and Steve over a three-year period.

She sent emails to the couple’s workplaces with false claims they were involved in criminal activity, including dealing drugs to kids.

During Sharp’s sentencing, Sheriff Douglas Kinloch said she “succeeded” in ruining the Patons’ lives, leaving them on medication and unable to work for lengthy periods.

He said he had considered calling for a psychiatric assessment of Sharp in a bid to shed light on her behaviour.

But he didn’t believe such a report could explain her “deliberate and malicious” crimes, which showed a “high degree of planning”.

Victim Steve, 60, blasted the stalker, saying: “There is a total lack of remorse for what she put us through.
“This obsession she has with champagne is sad but we won’t be intimidated by her.

“It seems ridiculous that Sharp was sentenced to 12 months but only served three and is out before Christmas.

“But the whole world now knows what she did after she admitted it in court.

“She is the type to just keep squirming and denying everything but even her friends and family know she is an obsessive stalker and fantasist.

“She may have got out of jail early but her reputation has been destroyed forever by what she did to us.

“She is a laughing stock at Ibrox and you would have to be off your head to believe she is innocent after all the details emerged in court.”
