Install Ikea ceiling rail in Chipboard
Hello,
It's time to install curtains. We have purchased ceiling tracks from Ikea: https://www.ikea.com/se/sv/p/vidga-gardinskena-1-spar-vit-70299153/
These will be installed in the ceiling, which consists of:
https://www.byggmax.se/innertak-p1026
Now to the dilemma (which I certainly should have thought of earlier).
Is there sufficient support to mount the ceiling tracks in this ceiling? If so, what screws (and possibly plugs) should be used? The underlying beams won't be usable (they are too close to the outer wall).
Tips and suggestions are welcome!

Sorry for the late reply.S Simben said:
In the absence of better alternatives, I did some tests myself and decided that it would be sufficient to attach only to the ceiling panels.
Having done that, I can confirm that the result turned out well. The rails are mounted and feel very stable.
