Rangers fans’ crafty Champions League ticket plot foiled by on-the-ball Union Saint Gilloise

Union Saint-Gilloise are trying to block Rangers fans snapping up tickets for the home end for the first leg of their crucial Champions League qualifier in Belgium next week after cottoning on to crafty Ibrox punters taking out membership schemes for the Jupiler Pro League side.

Rangers fans have been allocated just 750 briefs for the match which will be held at the home of USG’s Belgian top flight rivals OH Leuven's Den Dreef Stadium, around 18 miles from the capital of Brussels, with their own Stade Joseph Marien not up to UEFA standard.

That isn’t enough to satisfy the demand of the thousands of fans who want to travel across the North Sea hoping to see Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side move a step closer to reaching the Champions League group stage. And some are going to great lengths to try and get into the stadium - even if it means sitting in the home section.
