Three ardent Rangers fans have travelled more than 11,000 miles to be in Seville for their team's Europa League final - but will end up watching it on TV!

Russell Wilson and father and son Calum and Alistair McKay flew from Australia and joined their friend Gerald McNair from Newbury, Berkshire.

Mr McNair forked out £3000 to a tout for his ticket and admitted he was desperate to see the match.

He said many thousands of Rangers fans like him had been marginalised by the UEFA ticketing system which granted 10,000 seats to each team for the 40,000-seater stadium.

He added: 'This could be the biggest night in the history of Rangers and in the lives of many of our fans.

'Spending that kind of money is a big decision, but I could not miss this.'
