Rangers vs Panathinaikos LIVE score and goal updates from the Champions League clash at Ibrox
Rangers have warned fans to be on their best behaviour against Panathinaikos with UEFA hovering and a suspended stand closure having over the club.
Russell Martin takes charge of his first competitive game and it could hardly be a tougher test at this stage of the season as the greeks visit Ibrox for the first league of the Champions League second round qualifier.
And while access to the lucrative league stage of the competition is on the line, so are full houses at Ibrox in future European nights.
The European governing body slapped Gers with a two-year suspended stand closure and a £25,000 fine earlier this year after a "racist and/or discriminatory" banner was displayed during the epic Europa League victory over Fenerbahce last season.
And the club have implored punters not to give the watching beaks any excuse to shut some of them out of any future Euro nights by locking down the 8000 capacity Copland Road stand.
Across the continent, Ibrox and the Rangers support are renowned for your incredible backing both in noise and in colour, and that backing can again make all the difference against Panathinaikos and beyond.
Supporters are, however, reminded the club remains under a suspended stand closure sanction. That means should there be any repeat of what UEFA deems as 'racist and/or discriminatory behaviour' in any area of the stadium, the Copland Stand will be closed for a future European match.
That will mean thousands of fellow Rangers supporters will be deprived of the opportunity to attend a potentially key game, while the players on the pitch will lose a significant proportion of that amazing support you provide.
Discriminatory behaviour includes (but is not limited to) illicit singing, chanting or the displaying of banners. Ahead of this match, and indeed the season, the club also reminds supporters the throwing of objects onto the pitch is unacceptable, illegal, and will lead to serious consequences for the club and the potential arrest of the individuals responsible.
Tuesday's huge match heralds the beginning of a new era for our great club, and another opportunity to show the very best of it to the watching world.

Monday's briefing: Euro 2025 glory for England as Diaz nears Liverpool departure
After the game Lucy Bronze revealed the extraordinary lengths she had gone to in helping the team win a second major trophy under Sarina Wiegman, who herself has now won three European titles in a row. Away from the tournament, Luis Diaz is on his way out of Liverpool while new signing Viktor Gyokeres has joined up with Arsenal. England bring it home England secured their Euro 2025 crown in a fashion in keeping with their performances throughout the entire tournament. After needing to recover from an opening loss to France just to make it out of the group stage, and then play 120 minutes against both Sweden and Italy to reach the final, England again came from behind on the night and went the distance as Alessia Russo cancelled out Mariona Caldentey's opener. After seeing goalkeeper Hannah Hampton make two key saves before Kelly's winning spot-kick, Wiegman called it 'the most chaotic and ridiculous tournament we have played' as the never-say-die attitude of her players again shone through. Captain Leah Williamson said: 'It's just total disbelief, but at the same time I knew it was going to happen. Playing for this England team is unbelievable. You just cannot put us down and it's such an amazing feeling to be a part of.' Bronze revealed fractured tibia after England win Lucy Bronze revealed she had been playing with a fractured tibia (Nick Potts/PA) After Sunday's final England defender Bronze revealed she had played the whole of the tournament with a fractured tibia. The 33-year-old full-back had played every minute of Euro 2025 until she succumbed to a separate knee injury at half-time of extra time in Basel. 'I've actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, but no one knew. And now I've hurt my knee on the other leg,' Bronze said on BBC Sport. Speaking after Bronze came through the quarter-final penalty shoot-out win over Sweden, Wiegman had said of Bronze: 'I think the only way to get her off the pitch is in the wheelchair' and we can now see what she meant. Diaz to leave Liverpool for Bayern Munich Luis Diaz is heading for the Liverpool exit (Peter Byrne/PA) Luis Diaz is on his way out of Liverpool after the club agreed a £66million deal with Bayern Munich. The agreement comes after the Bundesliga champions were understood to have reopened dialogue regarding a move after having an initial offer of £59m dismissed last week. Liverpool are currently on their pre-season tour in Asia and Diaz was still with the team when they arrived in Tokyo on Sunday, but now has permission to leave. The 28-year-old has two years left on his original contract and it is understood the Reds accepted the bid for what they consider to be his market value.
