Rangers midfielder Lee McCulloch has been swamped by requests for tickets for Wednesday´s UEFA Cup final against Zenit St Petersburg.

The Ibrox club have been handed around 19,000 tickets for the City of Manchester Stadium clash but more than 100,000 Light Blues fans are expected to converge on the city ahead of the game.

Former Motherwell star McCulloch, who will celebrate his 30th birthday on the day of the final, said: "I just gave all my tickets to my mum telling her to deal with it! It has been amazing."
