Lustig shares a little history with Shevchenko, the greatest player of his nation’s modern football's history. Ukraine coach Andriy Shevchenko looked toward "a very big Ukrainian diaspora in the UK and we hope that they will come to support us.”

“I have many friends in Glasgow who can solve it,” said the 34-year-old defender, who won eight straight league titles with Celtic and now plays for AIK Stockholm. Lustig was more optimistic, saying “there are many Swedes in the UK I hope they get there.” “I think it’s really weird that they decided to host the game where our supporters are not allowed to join and watch the game.” “My view is that it’s a wrong decision,” Sweden coach Janne Andersson said through a translator on Monday. About 10,000 fans are expected at the storied 52,000-capacity stadium in Glasgow but few will be able to travel from the two nations because of quarantine rules required by Scottish authorities.
