Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes has vowed to do all of their fans proud at Ibrox next week despite being limited to less than 1,000 supporters.
The Dons were only handed 972 tickets for the 50,000-capacity stadium for Wednesday's game, and sold out in a few hours.
It is understood the Dons asked for an increase in their usual allocation in line with competition rules, which entitle the away club to up to a 20 per cent share. Kilmarnock recently had a bigger share than normal for their Ibrox replay.
However, Rangers, who failed with a similar request for the original tie at Pittodrie, stated that was not possible following discussions with Police Scotland over safety issues.
McInnes said: "I think the reasons given, we have got to respect that.
"For us on the playing side of it, it would have been nice to see more supporters there. But it is what it is, we have just got to deal with it.
"Whether there's no fans there or 20,000 fans there from Aberdeen, for me the important part is we all know who we are playing for anyway.
"Anyone who can be at the game will be eagerly anticipating the result. We all have that responsibility, we know who we represent and hopefully we can get the club into another semi-final."
