Ibrox Club: UEFA scheduling is criticized
Rangers are upset over the timing of the Ibrox match, which looks to be one of the ties of the Europa League Round of 16.
The first leg of the match between Rangers and the team will begin off at the Estadio de Luz at 8 p.m. GMT; however, because of UEFA broadcasting commitments, the second game will kick off at5 p.m.
Rangers supporters who have to work will undoubtedly face logistical challenges as a result, and the team has expressed their sour “disappointment” at the state of affairs.
The Gers said they “fully sympathise” with the Ibrox fans, even if they have no influence over the matter, adding that the decision will “cause significant inconvenience and disruption to our supporters.”
Benfica is probably enjoying what amounts to a tiny triumph even before the games begin, but Ibrox is undoubtedly a stronghold for Rangers on European nights.
That being said, we still anticipate a sold-out Ibrox for this encounter on March 14th, with Rangers supporters from all over the world.
At Ibrox, under the Belgian’s watch, Philippe Clement will likewise be totally focused on the work at hand and will not accept any justifications.
