Shamed Sevco stars warned not to hand their shirts over to plucky Annan part-timers

Hard up Sevco banned their stars from giving shirts away to Annan players after Saturday’s Scottish Cup thriller at Galabank. 

Despite raking in thousands of pounds from their kit deal with Castore Sport it seems that the soaking kit from the weekend will be needed for future use. 

Getting a famous shirt as a souvenir of a big match is a tradition in the lower leagues but after their epic cup tie none of the Annan squad went home with a Barisic 31 or Wright 23 shirt to remember their 90 minutes on the big stage. 

The Daily Record reports: 

Gutted Annan ace Tony Wallace claims Rangers slammed in the door in their faces when the League Two part-timers asked to swap jerseys. 

A lucky fan got Aaron Ramsey’s jersey after sprinting onto the Galabank pitch at full-time while Iain Anderson was among a small number of Peter Murphy’s team who managed to blag a memento. 

But Wallace says he was left empty handed after chapping the door to the away dressing room as he went in search of a keepsake for himself. 

The former Morton midfielder – who joked on Twitter he’ll need to get his son a Gers top from ‘from JJB’ after being snubbed – said: “I never got one. I asked about six people but they said they couldn’t. They said a few boys had took them. 

“That’s the only disappointing thing. You want something to show and you expect a club like that size to say, ‘You know what, every single person give your top away’. 

Ibrox kit-man Jimmy Bell will be busy this week sewing Europa League emblems on for the match away to Borussia Dortmund.
