Glasgow Airport issues update to Rangers fans ahead of Seville Europa League final

Glasgow Airport have issued an update today (May 17) for football fans who are set to travel to Seville.

The fresh update comes as thousands of fans have flooded the sunny city in hopes of seeing Rangers create history as they bid for European glory ahead of the Europa League final on Wednesday.

However with the countdown to the match now on, Glasgow Airport has issued two warnings asking people to prepare before they leave their homes and to be patient upon arrival.

Taking to social media, the airport wrote: "If you are travelling through the airport on your way to the football, our retail and catering outlets are extending their opening hours over the course of this week.

"Please don’t forget to arrive on time, prepare for security and be patient due to increased passenger numbers."

In a second update they added: "The airport will be busy over the next few days due to football fans travelling, so please plan ahead and follow these useful tips."

  • Be on time. Check with your airline for check-in times.
  • Be patient. All areas of the airport, including retail and catering, will be busier.
  • Be prepared for security. Watch this video as a reminder of how to prepare your hand luggage.
  • Plan ahead. Pre-book parking and lounges.

According to the Daily Record, supporters have poured into the city's venues after more planes, trains and buses touched down on Monday just two days ahead of the team's clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

In addition to this, more than 5,500 police officers and private security contractors are being deployed in Seville this week to maintain law and order, with cops moving into a "pre-critical" stage of peacekeeping on Tuesday.

"Critical" policing will begin from 3pm on match day on Wednesday.
