Rangers have confirmed the arrangements for fans observing Ramadan during tomorrow night's Europa League clash against Benfica.

Philippe Clement's team will kick off their second leg tie against the Portuguese outfit at the unusual time of 5.45pm on Thursday evening. 

With the last-16 tie evenly poised at 2-2, it promises to be an entertaining night at Ibrox.

And Rangers' Muslim supporters are being offered the chance to observe Ramadan at the game, with arrangements sent out in an email by the club today. 

It reads: "Rangers, working with The Rangers Fan Advisory Board, have made the following arrangements to accommodate Muslim Rangers supporters observing Ramadan while attending the match against Benfica on Thursday, March 14. 

"Muslim supporters: 

  • will be able to leave the stadium from 6.15pm by approaching a steward, who will direct them to the appropriate exit.
  • They will then make their way to The Rangers Store (at the corner of the Copland and Broomnloan Stands).
  • Be able to access the store from 6.20pm.
  • Be provided with a prayer space, bottles of water, dates and a vegetarian sandwich. 
  • On completion of prayers, supporters will be escorted back to the stadium for 6.45pm."

Around 50 supporters are expected to take part in the process.

Rangers have been handed a timely injury boost ahead of the game, with Todd Cantwell spotted in training this morning.

Clement has had to deal with a lengthy injury list during his time at Ibrox. 

After Sunday's win over Hibernian in the Scottish Cup, he bemoaned the lack of preparation the players had ahead of the season in a thinly-veiled dig at previous manager Michael Beale.

In the game at Easter Road, he lost both Dujon Sterling and Ross McCausland to injury, insisting he hoped to have both back for Thursday night's second leg.
