Derek Clark of *The Rangers Review* was struck by the number of empty seats at Rugby Park during Rangers’ 1-0 loss to Kilmarnock on October 20, noting that it was surprising given the demand for tickets among away fans. He pointed out that thousands of Rangers supporters were left without tickets, yet many seats remained unoccupied, a situation he described as puzzling in his post on X.
The loss was another blow to Rangers, as they missed a chance to close the gap in the Scottish Premiership, leaving them six points adrift of leaders Celtic and Aberdeen. The debate over ticket allocations has become increasingly significant in the league this season, with issues also seen at clubs like Hearts, Hibernian, and St Johnstone, which have reduced the capacity for away supporters in recent years. This trend has frustrated both Rangers and Celtic, whose large fan bases often fill away sections at grounds across the country.
Rangers’ current struggles on the pitch have added to the frustration of their fans. As manager Philippe Clement tries to turn things around, there is little room for error, with crucial matches against FCSB in the Europa League and St Mirren in the Premiership on the horizon. Securing victories in these games will be essential for Clement to stabilize the season and keep Rangers’ hopes alive in both competitions.
