Rangers take on Feyenoord in an 8pm kick-off this evening, as they look to kickstart their Europa League Group G campaign with a win.
This morning, the club issued a warning to supporters. Referencing the recently launched Everyone and Anyone campaign, there was a call for exemplary behaviour inside the ground in the wake of recent UEFA sanctions.
This afternoon, there’s been a further release from the club which is also important for those attending the game.
Barriers are to be erected in the North-West corner of the ground in order to funnel Feyenoord fans into the stadium. Consequently, some supporters may need to make alterations to their arrival and stadium entry plans.
A significant area stretching from the left corner of the Broomloan Stand round to the ticket office will be fenced off. Some turnstiles will also be out of action.
As a result, the club has asked supporters to allow extra time to get into the stadium and to only access the grounds from Edmiston Drive, Harrison Drive or Mafeking Street.
This may cause a few grumblings amongst supporters, especially as the travelling Dutch opposition have struggled to sell out their allocation [Daily Record].
Yet, even if the away area is not full, those Feyenoord fans who have a ticket are likely to make their presence known.
For the sake of getting to the ground a few minutes earlier, it’s better safe than sorry.
Let’s hope these measures ensure everyone gets in on time to pay their respects to Fernando Ricksen and to see Gerrard’s men put on a show.
Despite the partial stand closure enforced by UEFA, Ibrox should still be bouncing as the Gers seek a win against esteemed opponents.
