Rangers have urged fans to be on their best behaviour for their Champions League qualifier with PSV - reminding supporters of previous incidents that led to the club being hit by UEFA sanctions.
Gers were hit with eight separate fines from European football's governing body last season while they were also ordered to close sections of Ibrox against Legia Warsaw in the 2019 Europa League for "sectarian singing" and "racist behaviour." They take on Dutch giants PSV hoping to take a big step closer to the Champions League group stage, and have warned fans to avoid bringing the club into disrepute given the size of the occasion.
A club statement reads: " Rangers are incredibly proud of the amazing atmosphere that our fans create at Ibrox and supporters are encouraged to exemplify the best of our support to cheer on the team on the cusp of returning to the Champions League group stages. This game has attracted an unprecedented level of media interest and thus, wider scrutiny.
"Please ensure that you represent our club in the correct manner and be mindful of previous incidents in Europe which led to sections of our stadium being closed. With the match being completely sold out we are asking supporters to allow extra time to travel to the match and ensure they get into the stadium in plenty of time for kick-off.
"Please note that Police Scotland have indicated that the police barriers will be in position. The current intention is for supporters to have access around the stadium but Police Scotland have the option to close off the North West corner of the stadium should they believe it is in the interests of spectator safety. Thank you for your continued support."
