How many away tickets will Rangers get vs Viktoria Plzen?
As per UEFA regulations, Rangers will receive at least a five per cent share of the total capacity of Viktoria Plzen's stadium for their travelling support.
The Doosan Arena seats 11,700, meaning Rangers would be set for at least 585 tickets for the Champions League showdown.
However, it appears Rangers could receive a higher figure due to Viktoria Plzen having a dedicated away section in the stadium.

The capacity of the sections is 627. When Hearts faced Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League play-off in 2024, they were allocated both sections, totalling 627 tickets.

Pep Guardiola tells Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers what he wants to hear about Simpson-Pusey as 'trust' made crystal clear
Rodgers knows Guardiola trusts Simpson-Pusey implicitly and you don't have to look far for cold hard proof of that Brendan Rodgers hinted Pep Guardiola's 'trust' in Jahmai Simpson-Pusey may have been one of the driving factors behind Celtic's decision to bring him in. And there's no denying the Man City boss rates the youngster after he delivered a public glowing verdict on the 'unbelievable' 19-year-old. The centre-back arrives at Parkhead after something of a breakthrough season at the Etihad where he managed six top-team appearances, which included starts in the Premier League and Champions League. on top of a number of cup outings. That experience with some of the best players in the world made it a no-brainer for Rodgers to bring him in and, speaking to Sky Sports, he admitted the faith shown by Guardiola in him last season made it an easy decision to bring him in. Rodgers said: "He's a young player that I feel can come into this environment and really support us in the games that we play. "We need a number of centre halves and he is one, with his profile and attributes that fit how we play. "He has got good pace. He is a good defender first and foremost but he can also play football because at Celtic, you need to be able to build the game from behind and progress it quickly. He can do that. "He has had some senior games with Manchester City and has had the trust of Pep (Guardiola) to put him in. Now he comes here for a year and continues that education at a massive club." And you don't need to look far for a sign of that 'trust' Rodgers is referring to. Simpson-Pusey is fancied to have a big future and, if Guardiola is to be believed, then it's a major coup for Celtic to bring him in. He threw him in for his Premier League debut against Brighton back in November, having previously started him against Sporting CP in the Champions League. City, struggling for form, lost that game 2-1. But Simpson-Pusey was one of the bright spots as he looked capable beside Josko Gvardiol and Kyle Walker in the back line. Speaking after the game, Guardiola said: 'Jahmai Simpson-Pusey played really good again, with this composure – the duels, everything was good. We have a central defender to help us for the next years. 'I'm really pleased. Always, there is good news when a situation is going bad – and this is one of them. It's not easy for him. 'Normally, the young lads come in with the support of the team – Rodri in front of them, the best Kyle Walker and other defenders. He's playing in a position that is difficult for him, and he performed unbelievably.'

Union Bears scrap Rangers tifo for Champions League clash as ultras group issue statement
Gers welcome Viktoria Plzen in the first leg of their third round qualifying encounter The Union Bears have confirmed that they have shelved plans for a tifo display at Ibrox tonight ahead of Rangers' Champions League showdown with Viktoria Plzen due to the effects of Storm Floris. Russell Martin 's men take on the Czech side in the first leg of their third round qualifying showdown before travelling to the continent for the return fixture in eight days time. Should they emerge victorious over two legs, then they will face the winner of the tie between Club Brugge and Red Bull Salzburg for a place in the main section of the Champions League, which could see the club bank up to as much as £40million. However, the players will not be welcomed onto a pitch by a huge tifo from the Broomloan Stand after the Union Bears reluctantly pulled the plug on the display. Their statement on X read: "Due to the wind/adverse weather we are reluctantly pulling tonight's planned tifo. "After weeks of work this decision is the last thing we wanted but we've been left with no choice. "In the absence of a tifo we urge all fans heading to Ibrox tonight bring a scarf and more importantly bring the noise and back the team right from the start. Martin is looking for a quickfire response from his players after tearing into them in the wake of Saturday's 1-1 draw at Fir Park in their Premiership opener with Motherwell. The former Southampton boss will welcome new signing Oliver Antman into the squad after he rubber-stamped a £4million switch from Go Ahead Eagles on Sunday. Rangers will however be without fellow new recruit Mikey Moore after the Tottenham loanee's paperwork to get the green-light from UEFA wasn't processed in time for the game because of his under 18 status.

Hibs Euro rivals in 'biggest game of season' claim ahead of Conference League clash
Partizan hoping to whip up home crowd for 'cup final' contest Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Hibs have been warned to expect a Partizan Belgrade team cranked up to 'cup final' levels of intensity as the Serbs prepare for 'the most important match of the season' on Thursday night. The home side head into this week's first leg of the Europa Conference League third qualifying round tie buoyed by a weekend win – and eager to drum up a large fanatical support for a crucial contest. With the losers of Larnaca v Legia Warsaw awaiting the winners of this contest in the play-off round, Partizan are aware that they could progress to claim revenge against the Cypriot side who knocked them out of the Europa League just a few weeks ago. But club president Rasim Ljajic insists no-one at the club is looking that far ahead. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'The Hibernian game is like a final for now,' said Ljajic. 'We know that, if we want to go further, we have to win this one. 'We are focused on Hibernian and focused on this round of qualifications. We cannot rush ahead. It is important to be ready for this round – and think about the next opponent later, especially as we may know each other. 'The visit of Hibernian this week is the most important match of the season for us. No-one should doubt that.' Serbs seeking revenge on Cypriot conquerors Partizan were knocked out in the first qualifying round of the Europa League on penalties by Larnaca, who won 1-0 at home and then lost 2-1 in Belgrade to force extra time, before winning the shoot-out with a score of 6-5. There was definitely a feeling of déjà vu among the Serbs after Monday's play-off round draw at UEFA HQ. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'The draw for the play-off could have been easier,' admitted Ljajic. 'Or it could have been harder. But we're used to doing things the hard way at Partizan. 'We could have tried to build this team and this spirit in a hurry. But it would be short-lived. 'As you know, we never have things easy. And I think we need a bit of luck, like any team in football. But I expect positive results because of the hard work of these young players, who burn with desire and passion for Partizan every time they take the field. 'We were actually fortunate in Larnaca. But our luck deserted us in the second game at home. Objectively, most people could see that we deserved to go further. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'We can prove that now. But first we need to win this final against Hibernian.' Star player Milan Vukotic, meanwhile, insisted there was no time for players to celebrate Sunday's dramatic late comeback win over local rivals Radnicki. The attacking threat insists he and his team-mates have only one thought in mind ahead of Thursday. 'Victories are important because winning gives us real confidence in what we are doing,' said Vukotic. 'But we have to be aware that there is no time to celebrate. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'With games so fast, we have to go step by step and focus on the next challenge. That is the game against Hibernian; nothing else matters next to that. Everything else must come second to our European game. 'At this moment, all I can promise is that we will give everything and do our best. With the support of the fans lifting us, we can be better than anyone imagines.'
