I had an AC Milan one for the 18/19 season. Let me buy tickets ahead of a standard punter for their game vs Juve. If it’s extra income for the club I’m happy for them to try it out

What do we think?
According to the Rangers website, the club’s new membership programme is designed to offer a number of benefits to the club’s domestic and international fanbases, including exclusive access to member-only fan experiences, preferential access to club content, as well as priority access to match tickets through the introduction of a Rangers loyalty scheme.
While many of the Rangers fans seem to believe that paying extra for these privileges – something that they seem keen to do – will help the club financially, others appear to believe that the club are simply finding new ways to take more of their fans’ money.
