RANGERS fans have been booted off a flight to Munich ahead of the team's clash with Rapid Vienna for alleged rowdy behaviour.
It's understood a group of supporters were removed from the flight at Glasgow Airport due to an incident on-board the aircraft, which was due to take off at 3.20pm.
Taking to Twitter, a number of passengers said they had been delayed due to the issue.

"Flight is over 2 hours late thanks to the drunken a******* and their fellow supporters will miss their connection to #Vienna because of them."
