Rangers have made an official announcement for their supporters ahead of the Scottish Cup clash against Celtic.
The Gers are set to take on their arch rivals in the quarter-final on 8 March, and will be facing them a week before as well, in the Scottish Premiership.
The Old Firm derby has been historically feisty, and that has led to away fans getting little to no allocation for games.
However, for the cup game, Celtic have been handed the full Broomloan Stand at Ibrox for their fans.
Rangers reveal fans for season-ticket holders affected by Broomloan allocation
Rangers issued an official announcement to provide guidance to their fans affected by the Broomloan Stand allocation.
Celtic got their way as 7500 fans will now occupy that stand for the Scottish Cup quarter-final clash.
This has led to some of the Light Blues’ season-ticket holders being confused as to whether they have a ticket for the game.
The club confirmed that those who have guaranteed seats in Broomloan will be given the option to buy tickets elsewhere in the stadium, but it is not a given that they will be allocated a seat due to the demand.
Preference will be given to the fans on the Continuous Credit Card Scheme, however.
The statement reads: “Owing to Scottish FA competition rules, opposition clubs are entitled to a larger allocation than normal, therefore, Celtic will be allocated the Broomloan Stand for this fixture.
“League allocations will remain as previously agreed between the two clubs.
“We anticipate the vast majority of season ticket holders from the Broomloan Stand being able to purchase an alternative ticket elsewhere in the stadium, with priority being given to those on the Continuous Credit Card Scheme, subject to availability.
“Sales and payment windows for this match are below – please note the dates by area your seat is ordinarily located in.
“If you have a season ticket anywhere in the Broomloan Stand, whether you are on CCCS or not, you will NOT automatically be allocated a ticket, and MUST purchase an alternative in the seat movers sales window.”
Danny Rohl faces make-or-break two matches as Rangers manager
With the seat allocation issue dealt with, focus is now on Danny Rohl and his ability to galvanise the team in tense situations.
While he has done wonders to get the Ibrox outfit into the title picture after the disastrous start to the season is commendable, he needs to show they can start grinding out results away from home.
Rangers drawing 2-2 with Livingston is unacceptable, and there needs to be a response shown by the players.
Both the Celtic matches are at home, but wins in them will undoubtedly make the Gers title favourites.
Their new signings seem to be clicking, but if they fail to show up in the biggest matches of the season, fans may be consigned to another disappointing end to a campaign.
