Rangers have issued an important supporter update ahead of their friendly match with Bayer Leverkusen this weekend.

The Bundesliga outfit are the visitors to Ibrox on Saturday with a 1pm kick-off scheduled in Glasgow.

Ahead of the fixture club supporter liaison officer Greg Marshall provided important information for fans who require the use of lifts at the stadium.

He tweeted: "For supporters who use the lifts at Ibrox, please note: The East Tower Lift in the East Enclosure will be closed until mid-January 2023 for maintenance and upgrade.

"During this time, supporters are advised to use the West Tower Lift (at entrance 23a) to access the stadium."

The update comes as Rangers revealed plans to increase the number of wheelchair-accessible seats from 114 to 272 as well as grow the number of “other amenity seating” and improve facilities for disabled people such as toilets, lifts and low-level kiosk counters.

The seating plan will impact on 1,073 season ticket holders so Rangers plan major works, beginning in the summer of 2023, to install an extra 1,800 seats.

Disabled seating plans have been passed, while work to the Copland and Broomloan stands for extra seating are yet to be agreed, with extra funding needed.

The Rangers board got the backing for all resolutions at their annual general meeting yesterday despite some opposition from supporters and former chairman Dave King.

Fans’ group Club 1872, the fifth largest shareholder, had announced its intention to follow King and vote against the reappointment of chairman Douglas Park and two resolutions designed to hand the board more power to issue shares.

A statement on the club’s website read: “The board of Rangers International Football Club PLC is pleased to confirm that all resolutions presented at today’s annual general meeting were approved by shareholder vote.

“This successful outcome will assist the club with its ambitious investment plans, on and off the field of play.

“Full details of the shareholder vote shall follow.”
