Rangers v Benfica: Police barriers update emerges for Europa League clash

According to the club’s SLO, police barriers will be in place for Thursday’s UEFA Europa League match between Rangers and Benfica.

The next ninety minutes at Ibrox might determine who advances to the next round as the two teams are tied 2-2 in their clash. To make sure that things don’t go out of control, security measures are being implemented. “Please note, although Police barriers are in place, they remain open, allowing fans to navigate around the stadium,” the Supporters’ Liasion Officer wrote on Twitter. Subject to Police Scotland’s discretion, the gates will remain open.

Rangers enters the match against Benfica as the clear favorite.

It is vital that Police Scotland be watchful for the health and safety of both groups of fans. Conflicts between the two groups of supporters in Europe frequently lead to violence and unpleasant scenes. Football games are supposed to be happy occasions, thus these kinds of things damage the beautiful game’s reputation. Hopefully, nothing drastic happens before or after the game, and if something does wind up getting out of hand, it is handled. This is a significant European match, and Philippe Clement will be hoping that his team can continue where they left off and secure the crucial victory in front of their home supporters. It is imperative that the Gers win and finish what they started in the first leg.
