Rangers reach astonishing season ticket number as fans flock to back Steven Gerrard's title tilt

Rangers have sold more than 40,000 season tickets so far for next season - despite fans not knowing exactly when they will be able to return to watch their team in action.

The deadline for current ticket holders to renew is today, meaning fans yet to snap up gold-dust briefs will have to move quickly to avoid disappointment.

The club posted a message on social media platform Twitter thanking fans for their backing.

It stated: "40,000 and counting...

"Though times they have been hard, we’ll follow near and far.

"Thank you to each and every supporter who has renewed their season ticket so far."

And the forward momentum has continued as fans move to ensure they will be able to watch all the action from what promises to be an historic Scottish Premiership season.

While fans can't be certain when they can watch a match in person, there is renewed optimism they could return in some form  for the August return, with Scotland's continuing path towards eliminating the virus meaning the doomsday scenario of no fans until 2021 looks less likely.

If fans are unable to attend due to the continuing pandemic, their season book will entitle them to a virtual pass to view the game live online.

Steven Gerrard has already made three signings as he looks to wrest the title back from Celtic and stop their bitter rivals claiming Ten In A Row.
