Newcastle United discover huge ticket allocation for pre-season friendly away to Rangers

Newcastle United have been allocated 8,000 tickets for their pre-season clash away to Rangers.

The Magpies will head to Ibrox on July 18 for Allan McGregor's testimonial clash and the Toon Army have been allocated the entire Broomloan Stand. The friendly will bring back memories of trips to Glasgow in 1993, 1994 for the Ibrox Tournament, and 2010 and 2013 for previous friendlies when Newcastle headed north of the border.

Eddie Howe said: "A trip to Rangers will present a strong challenge at what will be an important time in our summer preparations.

"Any time Rangers play at Ibrox, you expect competitive football, and we hope to contribute to a great occasion in honour of Allan McGregor's achievements with the club."

McGregor is one of five players leaving Ibrox on a free this summer. "Allan McGregor, of course, also gained significant honours with the club in his first spell and broke the 500 appearance mark for Gers back in April," the club wrote when confirming his departure this week.

A percentage of proceeds from the evening will go to charities nominated by McGregor. Sales open at 10am on Thursday, 25th May, initially to season ticket holders with 50 and above away points.

Ticket prices:

Adults: £25
Seniors (65 and over): £20
16 and 17-year-olds: £20

Juniors (under-16): £10

The tickets will go on sale at Thursday 10am on the club website.
