Rangers fans warned not to get too drunk on mulled wine before Europa League clash against Rapid Vienna
Steven Gerrard's troops head out to Austria in their latest European quest knowing that their fate is in their own hands.
And the same can be said of the travelling Gers fans, who have been warned to take it easy where alcohol is concerned.
Vienna Police helpfully tweeted: "Any plans for the evening? Consider one of the many international pubs all over the city, or have a traditional hot wine at one of our Christmas markets.
But then came a couple of warnings.
It continued: "Pay attention for pickpockets and please note: Hot wine is a lot stronger than your brew".
Clearly Austrian police must have forgotten Scotland is a hotbed for some of the finest whisky distilleries in the world.
It's been a tough campaign for the Gers on their return to European competition.
But they are masters of their own destiny against Rapid Vienna.
Gerrard's side currently sit third in Group A, with six points after five games.
RANGERS FANS TURN ON EACH OTHER
By Sam Bryant
RAGING Rangers supporters today slammed fellow fans for ruining their footie flight plans – as they race against time to reach Vienna.
A bunch of boozed-up bluenoses were booted off a Lufthansa plane bound for Munich yesterday afternoon after rowing with a flight attendant.
But the rammy caused a three-hour delay at Glasgow Airport which meant dozens of Ibrox fans missed onward flight connections to the Austrian capital for tonight's Europa League showdown.
They've won just once, a 3-1 victory at Ibrox over Vienna, and have picked up two draws since that win back in October.
Vienna sit just a point ahead in second, meaning that the Gers qualify with a win.
A draw will see the hosts through, whilst a victory for the home side and a defeat for Villarreal against Spartak Moscow would see them claim top spot.
Although unlikely, Rangers could still sneak through if it's a stalemate in Austria and Villarreal are thrashed by more than four goals.
