RANGERS chiefs have warned supporters to prepare for travel disruption ahead of their game with Aberdeen on Wednesday.
Light Blues fans have been reminded of road closures across the city, in place for the COP26 climate conference beginning on Monday, and told to take extra time before heading to the Govan clash.
With the Clydeside Expressway closed for three weeks, it is widely expected the M8, M74, M77, and Clyde Tunnel, although open, will suffer from additional congestion. The Clyde Arc (often known as the Squinty Bridge) will also be closed.

A Rangers statement read: “Rangers supporters should be aware of disruption to access routes ahead of Wednesday’s match with Aberdeen due to the COP26 United Nations Conference.
“We encourage supporters to make themselves aware of the road closures and proposed alternative routes.

“The M8, M74, M77, and A739 Clyde Tunnel, although open, are at risk of additional congestion with the A814 Clydeside Expressway closed between Partick and Anderston.”
As we have previously reported, world leaders – including prime minister Boris Johnson – will be joined by thousands of delegates for the two-week United Nations summit in the city.
However, it is widely expected there will be major disruption for Glaswegians with the road closures compounded by a number of leisure venues being shut and planned strike action by rail staff, binmen, and school workers.

The Rangers statement added: “Supporters should allow additional time to travel to and from the stadium. We encourage all supporters to continue to be considerate of local residents and park in appropriate spaces.
“Public transport is also likely be busier than usual.
“Supporters’ coach parking will not be affected.”
