A SCOTS racecourse is getting shirty with Rangers ace Lorenzo Amoruso.

Hamilton Park has obtained a Rangers shirt worn by the star and will be giving it away free at its appropriately-named Italian Evening at the Races event tonight (Wednesday).

One lucky racegoer who purchases a racecard detailing the order of racing will find the shirt secretly marked telling the person he or she has won. The shirt is framed in a glass case.

Hamilton Park Chief Executive Morag Gray said: "The Amoruso giveaway is highly-appropriate for Italian evening."

Racing at Hamilton Park on Wednesday begins at 5.55 pm and the Italian theme will feature in the food and drink on offer to racegoers including pizza and fine Italian wines.
