Fashion Sakala gets the ultimate Ronaldo accolade as former Rangers star nabs his 'idol's shirt

Fashion Sakala got his hands on Cristiano Ronaldo's shirt after his team lost out to Al-Nassr in the AFC Champions League.

And the former Rangers forward is hoping the Portugal legend treasures HIS shirt just as much. Sakala joined the state-backed influx of talent to Saudi Arabia in the summer as he signed up for Al-Fayha in a move that banked Gers around £3m. Since then he's scored ten goals and assisted six in 29 games as his side dot around mid-table in the Saudi Pro League.

During the week though he had a moment to remember as he took on Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in the AFC Champions League. Ronaldo's strike was the difference in a narrow 1-0 win in the end, but it wasn't a night Sakala will remember for the result as he got his hands on a shirt signed by his 'idol.'

He revealed the shirt swap on Instagram as he wrote: "Thank you idol. I love him. Swapping shirts with him is crazy, I can't lie, I hope he will keep mine too."

The touching moment has shades of Cammy Devlin in the summer when the Hearts star got his hands on Lionel Messi's shirt, from his 1,000th game in professional football.
