A Rangers fan has died in Lisbon following the club's Europa League match against Benfica.

Thomas McAllister, 25, from Glasgow, had travelled to Portugal for Thursday's round of 16 game, which ended 2-2.

The Scottish Premiership leaders said they would remain in "constant contact" with the Portuguese and British authorities over the incident.

The Foreign Office said officials were supporting Mr McAllister's family.

She confirmed the office was in contact with Portuguese authorities.

Rangers chief executive James Bisgrove said: "On behalf of the club, I want to pass on my sincere condolences to Thomas' loved ones, family and his friends.

"This news has hit everyone at the club extremely hard, as I am sure it will all of our supporters. Nobody should ever go to a football match and not return home.

"The club stands ready to assist Thomas' family in whichever way we can in the coming days and weeks."

A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said: "We are providing consular assistance to the family of a British man who has died in Lisbon, and are in contact with Portuguese authorities."
