We all know why *Rangers cut ticket allocations for Celtic in the Glasgow Derby.
Of course we do.
They can run with the lie that it was to sell season tickets to their own fans all they want, but they were fed up of Celtic scudding them and watching the Hoops fans party in the Broomloan twice, sometimes three times a season.
Well Rangers chairman Stewart Robertson addressed the issue of away fans and the reintroduction of proper away crowds and his response was typical, “How do you change that back? Those supporters have renewal rights.
“You have a challenge there in changing that.
“It’s not something I see changing in the short term, I certainly don’t see it changing in the short term.”
Well no s**t Sherlock.
Clearly these idiots never thought their plan through when they started their tit for tat school playground nonsense.
The pettiness of that club knows no bounds.
We will never see a return to a proper derby atmosphere for years to come.
Och let’s face it.
The REAL Derby atmosphere died when they did.
This Derby is just a tribute act……………
Stewart, we know you lot couldn’t take getting smashed in your own midden and therefore took the huff and cut our allocation and by doing so, ruined the atmosphere in arguably the biggest derby match on the planet. Well done👏🏻

The constant stream of sabre-rattling from this club & former players making news in this paper on a daily occurrence. Only serves to divert attention & fill the void of the poor transfer activity. They know how to manage their fan base.

If every club took that tack then football would be finished and since when did having away fans at your ground amount to a ‘mass invasion’.

Lets be honest it was ruined in 2012 when the Old Firm finished. There is just not the same tension playing Rangers 2012 as there was against Rangers 1872. The nerves beforehand, the pain of defeat and the sheer joy at victory. It just doesn’t exist anymore.
