The Club is throwing open its gates and to hold a party in Glasgow for the thousands of Rangers fans without tickets for the final in Manchester, meaning supporters can experience together the Club's greatest European night since 1972.This will allow families and friends alike to come along and enjoy what could be one of the most memorable nights in the Club's history. Chief Executive Martin Bain said today: "To reach the UEFA Cup Final is a tremendous achievement for the Club and everyone involved is looking forward to what is sure to be a great occasion next Wednesday night. Rangers fans"The final has already been billed as the 'friendly final' due to our close association with Dick Advocaat and a large contingent of the Rangers family will travel in good spirits to Manchester. "We also want to make sure the thousands of other fans without tickets have the opportunity to experience the party atmosphere and that is why we are creating a celebration venue in Glasgow, Rangers home city. Supporters and families will be able to turn up at the gates on the night, with entry free of charge. "The Club will be working with Glasgow City Council over the next few days to ensure an extra special night and we will be making further announcements in the coming days. In the meantime, supporters should check the Club's website for all official and accurate updates on the Final." Rangers has announced the appointment of Mark Hateley as the Club's official 'Fans Ambassador' for the UEFA Cup Final in Manchester. Mark's role will be to communicate the do's and don'ts, and to communicate how to support the Club in an official capacity. Martin Bain said: "We are delighted that Club legend Mark Hateley will represent Rangers as UEFA Cup Final Ambassador. Mark continues to play a key role behind the scenes at the Club and his European pedigree speaks for itself." Hmmm, where better to watch it than Ibrox? Other than City of Manchester stadium that is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cotter 0 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Great gesture letting the bears in for free. So proud to be a bear. Still, even if I didn't have a ticket:thup: , think I'd rather be watching the game on a big screen in Manchester. Here's hoping things get sorted out and we can all have the time of our fucking lives:cheers: 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Good news and a good idea, if they wont open Old Trafford then this was the next best idea. If i was at home and didnt have a ticket id certainly consider this rather than watch it on the streets of Manchester. The only thing we'll have to watch is for a few tinks from the other side try and gate crash this when they hear its a free party. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
