 Rangers SLO issues important Athletic Bilbao reminder to avoid 'no ticket' scenario

Rangers supporters travelling for the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Athletic Bilbao have been issued an important ticket reminder.

The first leg of the Euro tie will be played at Ibrox on Thursday, April 10 before the return leg at Estadio de San Mames on Thursday, April 17.

Rangers have received a 2,544 ticket allocation for the away leg of the match with more than 7,500 supporters entering the ballot to try and secure a brief for the match.

However, the Rangers SLO has warned supporters against ending up in a situation where they do not receive a ticket after paying for the away leg.

To avoid disappointment, supporters must complete a form attached to their ticket offer email when they purchase tickets. Failure to do so will mean fans will not receive their ticket.

The reminder comes after a previous update stating supporters may have names and passport numbers printed on their tickets after the measure was taken by Athletic Bilbao in previous European matches this season.

A Rangers SLO post was reshared reminder supporters: "A reminder that all supporters who purchase a ticket for Athletic Club away must complete the form attached in the ticket offer email, otherwise they will not receive their match ticket."

An earlier ticket announcement read: "Emails have been sent to those who are eligible to purchase a ticket for Athletic Club away.

"Over 7,650 supporters registered for the club's allocation of 2,544 tickets. Those who registered and have 1854+ MyGers points can purchase from now until 09:00 on Wednesday 2 April.

"The host club & local authorities have requested supporter info.

"Previous visitors have had names and passport numbers printed on tickets, similar to our experience at Real Betis.

"Fans may be required to provide ID that matches the details on the ticket, or entry will be denied."
