Rangers' expected away allocation for Viktoria Plzen Champions League tie

Rangers take on Viktoria Plzen in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

The first leg of the qualifying tie will be played at Ibrox before a trip to Doosan Arena in the Czech Republic later this month.

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.

In the south-east corner of the stadium, U12 and U13, away supporters are housed.

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.

For the home leg, Rangers will hand over around 2,500 tickets under the UEFA away allocation guidelines. 

Due to the 51,700 capacity at Ibrox, Viktoria Plzen will be due 2,585 tickets.

The first leg will be played on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. The return fixture will be played on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.

Should Rangers advance, then they will enter the play-off round of Champions League qualification.

A triumph in the play-off would see the club reach the league phase of the elite European competition.

A loss in the play-off round or in the third qualifying round and Rangers will drop into the league phase of the Europa League.
