Ticketless Rangers supporters told that they can watch the final at another stadium in Seville

Rangers supporters who travel to the Europa League final in Seville without a ticket will be able to watch the match broadcast from another stadium in the city.

Only 9,000 tickets have been allocated for Rangers fans to attend the match against

Eintracht Frankfurt at the 44,000-capacity Ramón Sánchez-pizjuán Stadium but tens of thousands more are expected to make the trip.

Uefa released a statement earlier this week warning Rangers fans without tickets not to travel, however, following discussions with the governing body, Spanish police and local authorities, supporters without tickets will now be accommodated in a “fan viewing area” at the Estadio La Cartuja – the 60,000-seater stadium that hosted Celtic's Uefa Cup final against Porto in 2003.

Another specially designated “fan meeting point” will be set up in the Alameda de Hércules square in the centre of the city although no public viewing of the match will be available here.

A Rangers statement read: "Rangers are aware supporters are travelling to Seville in large numbers. We have worked to ensure supporters with, and without tickets have the opportunity to experience this momentous occasion.

"We know our fans will have a great time, enjoy the beautiful city of Seville, and act as worthy ambassadors of Rangers FC as we celebrate our 150th anniversary year.

"After dialogue with Uefa, Spanish Police and the local authorities, we can confirm the organisation of a fan viewing area in the Estadio La Cartuja, for those supporters without tickets. Further details will be released by the stadium manager in the coming days.

"There will also be a fan meeting point in Alameda de Hércules for those supporters with a ticket for the final. There will be no public viewing of the game in the fan zone area. More information will be provided in the coming days. We would like to thank Uefa, Spanish Police and the local authorities for their cooperation so far."

Rangers also reaffirmed the recent comments of managing director Stewart Robertson that there will no public screening of the match at Ibrox Stadium due to the lack of available staff to host such an event.
