To be fair I'm sure it is turnstiles 66/67 that we go in through 

South east corner is T62-65 and lisbon lions lower is T55-58 I don’t usually bother about keeping stubs and can’t find one for ll upper so not sure on T gates for that.

From the Rebel....

'Treating us like cattle' Rangers fans blast Police Scotland over celtic Park escort plans Police Scotland confirmed they have "engaged" with Rangers and want supporters in the ground an hour before kick-off.

Furious Rangers fans have accused Police Scotland of treating them like "cattle" after it was revealed they would be escorted to Parkhead before their next match against celtic .

A letter sent out to supporters has asked them to meet at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome at 10.30am for they can be walked to the ground for 11am ahead of the 12pm kick off. However, the decision has been blasted by Rangers fans, who have hit out at the wording of the letter.

It said: "It is essential that fans who will receive a ticket for the match are aware of the following information. In the interests of safety we will require fans to be in the Stadium no latter than 11:00 hours. "Fans are requested to gather at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome around 10.30 hours at which point they will receive an escort across to Turnstiles 66 and 67.

"We estimate the loading process will take around half an hour and after this point the Stadium footprint will be open for general access. Rangers fans arriving after 11:00 hours will be held away from the Stadium until after the match has kicked off."

Andy Lawrie said: "That's a joke", while another said: "Fans treated literally like cattle".

A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: "As part of extensive planning ahead of the Old Firm match on March 31, we have engaged with Rangers and asked if possible that fans are in the stadium before 11am. "This is to ensure that supporters can enjoy the match in a safe and secure environment."

I'd be citng this a s a breach of my rights and disrespectful of my historical principles and cultural traditions as a Rangers fan.  It was always best to stay in the  pub for as long as possible before the kick off,only arriving at the entry gates 10 minutes before game started.

In a serious aside, it is actually illegal to imprison people without consent, a breach of which could have serious punitive consequences. Would being restricted to a small holding area without agreement constitute "Illegal imprisonment", or would it maybe even require some sort of legal order, request or license ?     

Could be quite a few dangerous precedents and possible breaches of civil liberties here.

(And potential concerns for health and safety requirements, and allowances for those who are disabled or on medication.)

Knew it would come to something like this because if they couldn’t accommodate 850 fans then they’d have had to give us a bigger allocation. 

Instead the absolute roasters in the police have agreed to this and yet again the Rangers support is shafted because the tarriers stadium isn’t fit for purpose. How the fuck does that work out.

As I hinted at in previous post, they are not above the law, does make me wonder if the police have been consulted or involved in this decision. 

Hordes of cellic fans streaming past a group of penned in Rangers fans could lead to those bastards provoking serious trouble. 

I'm no expert on the subject but you'd think if the tarriers have went to the polis and said they plan on getting our fans in the ground as early as possible, that they're hardly going to refuse them. It'd be less work for them for a start.
