ian1964 10,626 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 CELTIC have demanded Rangers pay for tickets up front before allowing the Ibrox club's fans into Parkhead for the crunch Christmas derby. Record Sport can reveal the Parkhead outfit have broken with long-standing tradition by refusing to allow their bitter rivals to sell tickets to their own support on a sale or return basis for the top-of-the-table showdown on December 28. The move comes amid growing speculation about the state of the Ibrox club's financial health and because Celtic feared they might end up being left out of pocket for anything up to £350,000. But despite a string of ongoing problems behind the scenes Rangers' new owner Craig Whyte has rustled up the cash to avoid having an 8000-strong travelling support locked out of the biggest fixture of the festive season. Neither club wanted to comment on the development last night but Record Sport also now understands Rangers will make a similar demand for cash up front before Celtic visit Ibrox for the second time this season on March 24 next year. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/2011/12/09/celtic-make-rangers-pay-up-front-for-tickets-to-spl-old-firm-clash-86908-23621820/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig 5,199 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 These scummy bastards are dragging Scottish football throyuugh the mire !! "rustled up" - or maybe it is that RFC actually simply had enough cash to pay.... scare-mongering yet again. I am thinking we may need more of a siege mentality at Rangers, which hopefully would galvanize the club AND support 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Controversy and sensationalism is Jackson's job. It doesn't matter to him or Traynor if it's properly researched and factual or partially made up. They revel in shit stirring to sell copies of their rag. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannochsidebear 2,376 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 This story could just as easily be written as "skint Celts plead for cash bail-out from Gers". The facts remain the same as in the story above, it just comes from the opposite angle. Also, given that Celtic report bank debt as at 31 December in their half-year accounts, surely another £336K in the coffers will make their figures look better than it would otherwise. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
