There is still uncertainty over whether Ibrox Stadium will be back to full capacity when David Gray takes his side to Govan on Sunday
Rangers have told season ticket holders in the Copland Road Stand rear that they WILL get a seat for Sunday’s Hibs clash even if the area isn’t open.
The Ibrox club contacted fans in the rear of the stand with the club still awaiting the necessary safety certificates to reopen the stand to full capacity, with the lower section housing fans for Saturday’s Premier Sports Cup clash. Rangers chiefs are frantically trying to accommodate those with season tickets in the rear in the event that they can’t sit in their own seat.
Copland Rear season ticket holders were contacted to be told the club “are doing everything we can to get your own seat ready” for Sunday’s lunchtime live TV Scottish Premiership clash which is in front of the Sky Sports cameras, and in that case their smart cards will activated as normal. But in an email they explained "in the event the Copland Rear is not open for the Hibernian game, the club will guarantee you a seat elsewhere in the stadium. If this is the case, we will communicate directly with you and provide you with a QR code to access an alternative seat”.
Former chairman John Bennett had always targeted the Hibs game for a return to full capacity but admitted it might take longer. He said: "We can aspire - aspire, for that to be at the end of September but it's an aspiration. I am sorry I have to caveat this.”
