Rangers ticket allocation for Kilmarnock game sliced in half by Rugby Park chiefs

Kilmarnock have slashed the away allocation for Rangers for the final game of the season.

Club chiefs were forced to make a decision after it was revealed they would play Steven Gerrard's men in a potentially huge clash on May 19.

The Premiership match will be the seventh meeting of the season between the sides.

The Rugby Park side are in the middle of a fight for Europe as they lie in third-place joint on points with Aberdeen.

Rangers are usually given a huge allocation of both the Chadwick and Moffat stands, but that will be cut and the Moffat stand given back to Killie fans.

On Saturday the Rugby Park side take on Aberdeen who they sit ahead of only on goal difference.

But they are six points clear of fifth-placed Hibernian , and fourth will be a European place should Celtic beat Hearts in the Scottish Cup final.

A club statement said: "What has already been an unforgettable season for everyone at Killie still promises so much as we head into the final five weeks of the campaign.

"Guided by Steve Clarke and Alex Dyer, our squad is challenging at the top end of the Scottish Premiership with the real possibility of breaking last season’s club-record points total.

"As we continue our 150th Anniversary celebrations, we want to turn our final match of the season on Sunday, May 19 at home to Rangers into a celebration of all things Killie.

"With this in mind, we as a Board of Directors have made the decision to house Rangers FC supporters solely in the Chadwick Stand with Kilmarnock supporters in the remaining three stands.

"Our KCST team will have increased community games and activities on offer in our Family Fan Zone behind the Moffat Stand so get along early and join in the fun.

"Kilmarnock supporters can buy a ticket for the Frank Beattie, East Stand or Moffat Stand priced Adults £27, Concession (U21, 65+ and Students) £19, U16s £10.

"This is an all ticket match and home tickets must be purchased in person from The Killie Shop at Rugby Park. All away ticket enquiries should be directed to Rangers FC.

Director Billy Bowie said: “Kilmarnock FC is a family club and we want to make sure Rugby Park is a safe and enjoyable environment for people to enjoy watching football.

"As promised, we have worked with and listened to feedback from our leading supporters’ groups in a real effort to encourage and inspire the next generation of Killie fans.

“After the game we’re encouraging all Killie fans to stay in the stadium and watch one of the most memorable Killie teams in recent memory complete their traditional lap of honour complete with a few words from our manager Steve Clarke.”
