KingKirk 25,461 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Rangers’ meeting with Bayer Leverkusen in Germany in the last 16 of the Europa League could be played behind closed doors if cases of coronavirus continue to multiply in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, home of the Bundesliga club. The state’s first patient was admitted to hospital on Monday, with 14 cases confirmed by Thursday night. Bayer’s trip to RB Leipzig on Sunday will go ahead as scheduled, with the precaution that players, backroom staff and match officials will not observe the custom of handshakes before and after matches. The Bundesliga card has not yet been disrupted and Tim Meyer, the national team doctor, said on the German FA’s website that postponing matches or playing them behind closed doors would be premature at the moment, but could not be ruled out by the time Rangers are scheduled to play in Leverkusen on March 19. “At present, this remedy would probably be excessive in our country,” Meyer said. “The cases are known and ‘under control’ in Germany.” However, he added that “no one can seriously predict what the situation will be in a week or two.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's far more likely than not that it'll go ahead as normal. Problem will be should there be more confirmed cases then authorities will most certainly look to minimise unnecessary large gatherings. Football comes into that category and Italy has already made games behind closed doors. I'm waiting on the club travel and have an annual insurance policy that covers pretty much everything. Personally wouldn't book independent at the moment, though think it'll be ok for those who have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
