Rangers help La Liga side with special Ibrox photoshoot

The doors to Ibrox were thrown open by Rangers to help a La Liga club with a special kit launch.

CA Osasuna have released footage and still images of a recent photoshoot which took place at the Scottish Premiership giants' stadium. 

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Spanish outfit's first-ever game in a European competition, which was against Rangers in the UEFA Cup back in 1985, Osasuna ventured to Glasgow to release their new kit.

Manufactured by Macron, the all-red kit sports a retro look, with a polo collar. It is described as 'vibrant red, a powerful symbol of the Spanish autonomous community'.

A video, widely shared on the club's social media sites, shows a man and a woman arriving in Glasgow from Spain, walking through Glasgow Central Station, while arriving at Ibrox and the home dressing room.

The match that inspired the kit took place at Ibrox in September 1985.

Rangers won the first leg 1-0, thanks to a goal by Craig Paterson.

The likes of Ally McCoist and Davie Cooper were also in the side. Jock Wallace was the manager at the time.

Osasuna had the last laugh, though, as they won the return leg 2-0 in Pamplona, emerging victorious on aggregate to knock Rangers out.
