SNAPPED: Kosovo fans roll out red carpet for Man City attacker Sterling

Kosovo football fans have rolled out the red carpet for Manchester City attacker Raheem Sterling.

Ahead of tonight's Euros qualifier in Prishtina, a giant poster of the England star has appeared at the front of a city cafe, reports Gazeta Olle.

The image has Sterling in an England shirt with the headline: "Mirësevjen Broo" - or "Welcome Brother" in English.

The Kosovo football community are well aware of the racist chanting England's players experienced in Bulgaria last month and are eager to deliver a much more positive experience tonight.

Kosovo FA chief Agim Ademi has also assured England's players of expectations from home fans ahead of the game.
