GLASGOW, Scotland (UPI) -- A fan who traveled 5,000 miles to watch a soccer match in Scotland says he missed the game due to delays in picking up his pre-paid tickets.

Tommy Swinburne said he traveled all the way from the Bahamas to his native land -- an 18-hour trek -- to watch his beloved Rangers play in the Champions League game, The (Glasgow) Record reports. But he says he missed the game Wednesday because officials at Ibrox Stadium couldn't give him his tickets in time.

"I planned my trip to make sure I could get to the game. It was like planes, trains and automobiles," he said. "The hierarchy at Ibrox made a shambles of it all."

Swinburne said the snafu has had an effect on his loyalty to the Rangers.

"I will never set foot in Ibrox again," he told the Record.

that sucks

Somebody should do something for this guy.

I agree.
