Mark Guidi lays the blame for the ticket fiasco in the right place but for the wrong reasons

Main stand at Celtic Park

The Glasgow Derby ticket fiasco has been hogging the headlines over the last few days.

Ever since *Rangers decided to cut the allocation four years ago, the media for some strange reason refuse to lay the blame squarely at the door of the Ibrox board.

They will skirt around the issue and greet about how both clubs need to get together to sort it out but in reality, there is only one club that is to blame for how it all started.

And Mark Guidi laid it squarely at the door of Ibrox. He almost got the story right for the reasons why they did it, but you have to at least give the man kudos for trying here.

Speaking on The Go Radio Football Show, Guidi said, “You want to go back to how all this started it was it was when Dave King was the chairman of Rangers and wanted to find a way of getting more money from season tickets.

And also making sure that season ticket holders were also given both *ld F*rm games at Ibrox rather than moving the Broomloan Road season tickets out the way. So he wanted to do that.

He wanted to look after his own supporters and it is also financially beneficial, I believe. So it’s unfortunate, but I understand where Dave King was coming from, on that.

Celtic then followed suit and it’s then got nasty, in some respects.

So I think we either go back to the way it was with the 7000 for both teams, or we have nothing at all.

I don’t think the seven or eight hundred works. Clearly that there’s a safety issue. So we either go back to one or the other.”

The reason…….

What was the reason again? Oh that’s right. I wrote about it the other day when a Rangers fan OPENLY ADMITTED that it was a decision taken at the Ibrox AGM because supporters were sick fed up with Celtic supporters celebrating at their ground.

Good effort Mark, good effort.
