Rangers’ Ibrox Stadium is averaging 46,842 in all competitions, placing them further down the list in 29th spot.

Champions League holders and reigning La Liga champions Real Madrid sit two place above Celtic but there is a caveat as to why Los Blancos are surprisingly low in the list.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side are currently playing in front of a reduced capacity at the Santiago Bernabéu, with attendances capped at around 60,000 this season, as the famous stadium undergoes major renovation work.
