RANGERS have confirmed that a fan zone will be available for supporters in Seville without match tickets for the Europa League final.
Tens of thousands of Gers fans are set to make their way to Spain for the club’s first European final in 14 years since the UEFA Cup defeat to Zenit St Petersburg in Manchester in 2008.
Many Gers fans will travel without tickets against the advice of UEFA but now the Ibrox club have confirmed that supporters can gather together in a fan zone at the Estadio La Cartuja.
A statement read: "Rangers are aware supporters are travelling to Seville in large numbers. We have worked to ensure supporters with, and without tickets have the opportunity to experience this momentous occasion.
"We know our fans will have a great time, enjoy the beautiful city of Seville, and act as worthy ambassadors of Rangers Football Club as we celebrate our 150th anniversary year.
"After dialogue with UEFA, Spanish Police and the local authorities, we can confirm the organisation of a fan viewing area in the Estadio La Cartuja, for those supporters without tickets. Further details will be released by the Stadium Manager in the coming days.
"There will also be a fan meeting point in Alameda de Hércules for those supporters with a ticket for the final. There will be no public viewing of the game in the fan zone area. More information will be provided in the coming days.
"We would like to thank UEFA, Spanish Police and the local authorities for their co-operation so far."
