Narrative:
While holding short of runway on taxiway 'C' a light civil aircraft passed our aircraft on the right side after being told by ground to go around our aircraft on the left side. We were holding on taxiway 'C' offset to the right of the centerline in case an aircraft had to clear the runway at 'C' due to numerous taxiway closures. The aircraft had to pass under part of our right wing and being equipped with the split winglets there was a real danger of the aircraft contacting our right winglet.
