Rangers buy their fans UEFA Cup tickets

As Rangers try to continue Scotland’s impressive year in Europe, they will travel to Lisbon to take on Sporting CP on April 10th, after a home leg at Ibrox on April 3. Now, Rangers have decided to reward their fans, who have watched a near-record number of matches due to their long runs both in Europe and the domestic cups, with free tickets to the away leg. The team bought up the entire ticket allocation, 2500 tickets, and will be offering them free to Rangers supporters, with preference given to those who have traveled to away matches before.

I’m no Rangers fan, and have special issues with many of their traveling supporters. I was in Inverness for the season opener in August, and the Rangers fans were an absolute travesty. Still, I like this move from the front office. With 50 matches already played this season for Rangers, the hardcore fans have had to shell out a lot to keep Ibrox relatively full. It’s nice to see the club shelling out for away tickets, especially considering the cost of traveling to Portugal, hotel rooms, etc. Some of that money that Walter Smith decided not to spend on players should be going to taking care of the loyal fans, and it looks like it is.
