SUPPORTERS COACHES
Supporters coach parking is available in the Golf Road Car Park, adjacent to the away section. Please note there is no access to the car park for private cars.
Supporter coaches will only be permitted entry to the Golf Road Car Park less than 90 minutes before the match.
Police Scotland will be undertaking searches to check for alcohol on supporters’ coaches.
Rangers have been in regular communication with Police Scotland to raise our supporters’ concerns regarding the designated coach routes out of Aberdeen. Police Scotland acknowledge the concerns raised about the previously used route for travelling supporters' coaches and has explored various alternatives. Following their review, they have opted to continue with the existing route, as it provides the most efficient and shortest exit from the city, allowing Police Scotland to allocate additional resources to specific areas where coaches have historically faced issues with home supporters.
Police Scotland have assured us that this route remains the safest and most effective option, with enhanced police resources deployed to mitigate any past issues. Rangers will continue to prioritise the safety of our supporters and reinforce our commitment to this at every opportunity.
TRAVEL
The A90 is currently restricted in both directions at Glencarse due to a contraflow system in operation . Supporters are advised to expect longer than normal journey times. Please also note there is no exit southbound at the Glencarse off slip.

SUPPORTER BEHAVIOUR
Rangers are rightly proud of our multicultural men’s first-team squad and diverse support. Our Everyone Anyone campaign sends a clear message of inclusion and togetherness and a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of discrimination on and off the pitch.
Rangers are a modern football club, with support recognised across Europe for the positive way in which they back their team. Songs of a discriminatory manner have absolutely no place in 2024.
As the men’s first team continues its season domestically, supporters are reminded the SPFL has sanctions within their power to punish discriminatory chanting which would be extremely harmful to the club on and off the pitch.
We call on all our supporters to back the team in the right manner and prove once again what a force for good the Rangers support can be.
PYROTECHNICS
Supporters are reminded the use of pyrotechnics is illegal within Scottish football stadiums, and any supporter found to be in possession of a pyrotechnic device at any match will be arrested.
The club can also be sanctioned for any use of pyrotechnics within a stadium.
Please note that face coverings are also prohibited under SPFL regulations.
