The following is a great post from Valley Bluenose on FF, and hopefully it will be of assistance to the bears on here too. Official - The Great Big Bumper Thread of RangersTV Advice | FollowFollow.com The Malmö away match is now available to purchase for those overseas or 'overseas' at a cost of £7.99. Take care you don’t purchase the Home tie by mistake as a couple of posters have done. New season, so time for a ‘refresh’ on how to make it all work. All instructions below are for desktop/laptop. Whatever device you use for your viewing, I’d recommend using the website rather than the (poor) App. That’s not always possible if you want to cast though. Using a TV browser is at your own risk, many are not up to the task. I still can’t get the App to launch on Fire TV Stick either but Silk browser works for me. 1. The away game against Malmo is available on Premier Sports but for those – the majority hopefully – who want to give their money to the Club you can view it on RangersTV provided you are overseas or have access to a VPN to make it appear you are overseas. I won’t go into what a VPN is too much because we’ve covered it often but if anybody wants more info just ask. 2. If using a VPN, I would always recommend a good quality paid-for VPN. The Club have links with NordVPN and they are as good as it gets, especially if you are going to be using it long-term. There are others out there. For a one-off use there are options such as Opera, which is free, but they tend to have drawbacks. Any VPN will slow down your connection and can lead to buffering. A free/cheap VPN will generally slow it down more than a good quality one such as NordVPN. https://nordvpn.com/rangers/?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_term&utm_content&utm_campaign=off15&utm_source=aff52169 Buying the Match 3. If you don’t have the Unlimited (overseas) subscription then you need to PPV. You can only purchase matches via the website and not via the App. Apple/Google get a 20%+ slice of the pie for in-App purchases so it’s not viable for the club. 4. Switch on your VPN and set it to a location overseas. Ideally select a location near to the UK. France, Belgium, The Netherlands are all favourites of mine. These will generally have lower latency that areas further afield, i.e. they will be ‘quicker’. 5. To check that its worked, if you want to, click on the following link. It should show you as located in the country of your choice. https://whatismyipaddress.com/ 6. Go to the RangersTV Home page. Do NOT login. Click on any button that says Subscribe or Buy Match Pass. This will bring up a page of options available for purchase by overseas users. This will include the upcoming game. Click to purchase the game and the purchase process will take you through Login as part of the payment process. Don’t worry about any messages regarding an existing subscription just click through them (unless you actually have Unlimited LOL). You do not need a UK address or UK bank details to purchase. Once your purchase is made you can relax and wait until about an hour before kick-off time. Viewing the Match 7. If you have turned it off, go back and turn on your VPN and set it to your location of choice (France, Belgium etc). Normally, around 1 hour before the match (though sometimes it’s much less) the Watch Live button will appear on the RangersTV Home page. https://www.rangers.co.uk/tv#/ 8. Go to the RangersTV Home page (with your VPN set to overseas) and Login. When the Watch Live button appears (sometimes it goes red) click on it. If the stream is ‘live’ you will normally get the placeholder page for Erskine from about 1 hour before kick-off. ‘Moving pictures’ generally appear about half an hour before kick-off, though this can vary. If you cannot find the game, scroll down to the section headed RangersTV Latest and the game should appear in there. 9. To make sure you get sound, either roll your mouse over the top left-hand corner of the video window and click on Unmute when it appears – or simply go to the Enlarge icon in the bottom right and go Full Screen, which will unmute automatically. 10. At this stage, to help reduce any buffering, I’d also click on the Settings icon in the bottom right of the video panel and change it from Auto to 1080P. If you encounter buffering after this then try dropping it down another step to see if it helps. In extreme times, Tranmere game was one, the stream became unwatchable due to buffering. In that instance I pulled the bottom slider bar back by roughly 2 minutes and pressed Play. No more buffering but, of course, I was a few minutes behind ‘live’. Hopefully we never need to do that again. 11. Keep an eye on FollowFollow. Generally, someone will post ‘live now’ or ‘moving pictures’ or similar. If your screen doesn’t reflect that then simply Refresh your browser. One final point, please, please make sure you do not login on more than 1 device at a time. If you do, you risk having your Account blocked and will need to go down the Forgotten Password route. If you are in the habit of leaving yourself logged in of the App, for example, make sure you logout of the App before trying to login via your browser. When done watching, logout and turn off your VPN. That’s it. Happy viewing - or Lets’ Go (Again) as Stevie G would say.

Perhaps Rangers look at what they are able to get for their sleeve sponsorship and it's more than they are getting for the higher profile Cinch sponsorship?

Hopefully everyone is a bit more sensible now that King is off the scene, and we take a more reasoned approach.

If we lose to Malmo we get Kairat (Khazakhstan) or Alashkert (Armenia) in the Europa Cup qualifier. So it's either a trip of 3,300 miles or 4,600 miles for the away leg. Not ideal, but should be winnable.

Great draw IMO. Although would have liked to be away in the first leg.

Malmö 1 - 2 Rangers Tav

Don't think I'd have him in the top 5 at Rangers.

Now gone

That's a must watch video of Balogun. Fantastic stuff!

That's clear.

I got mine around an hour ago. However I'll probably use Sky as it's a better picture and less technical difficulties.

Looking for one tomorrow too.

I talked him him through it on FF and gave him a draft email to send. I did it last week and it only took a few days, with the ticket office staff dealing with it efficiently. If only they could have been as good with the ballot.

It's on Sky. Alternatively you could buy it on RTV if you're "overseas".

Late morning today.

Were you allocated a seat or did you have to log in and pick one?

No. Still no sign.

"All Season ticket holders were entered into a straight ballot for the available tickets. Those ST holders who were unsuccessful will receive priority access for the next league fixture should there still remain a limited capacity. However, in line with current government guidelines, we expect to have a full capacity at Ibrox for our next league home fixture." Good news for those of us who were unsuccessful.

Rangers 3 - 0 Livingston Tav

The token Gersnetter Enjoy your day, mate!

I'm hoping everyone gets in for the Celtic game.

Apparently those successful are seeing an entry in their Purchase History. Nothing in mine so far, so not looking good. Good luck to everyone else. ?

I thought Middleton looked good in pre-season and a better prospect than Barker, Jones or Hastie.

Just in from the game. Delighted at the performance. Thought everyone had a great game, which is promising. A big step up from the games against Arsenal and Brighton.
