Scum in dickhead shocker

THE Old Firm are locked in a cash feud after it emerged Celtic have reneged on a deal to hand over a £300,000 advance on tickets for next month's derby clash.

And Record Sport understands anxious Ibrox staff fear the move may force more job cuts at their stricken club at a time when administrators are trying to unearth enough money to keep the business running.

We revealed on December 6 how Celtic were breaking with tradition by demanding Rangers pay up front for their fans' tickets for the derby match at Parkhead at Christmas.

With the Ibrox finances unravelling under the disgraced Craig Whyte regime, Celtic feared they might be left out of pocket if Rangers went into administration.

Whyte reluctantly cobbled together the cash to avoid having an 8000-strong travelling support locked out of the biggest fixture of the festive period.

And according to sources, a verbal agreement was reached between the clubs that Celtic would also pay up front before their second visit of the season to Ibrox on March 25.

But last night that deal appeared to have broken down, just as Rangers' need for cash was becoming even more desperate.

The Parkhead club are due to receive 7300 tickets for Ibrox with their fans set to stump up £42-a-head for the pleasure of celebrating this season's title cakewalk at the home of their bitter rivals.

That adds up to a sum of just over £300,000 and it's money Rangers need to get their hands on as quickly as possible.

Administrators Duff and Phelps are still trying to track down the missing millions from Whyte's £24.4m deal with Ticketus as they attempt to find enough money to cover next month's wage bill. And, as if the financial carnage at Ibrox was not already chaotic enough, the club was yesterday hit with a £50,000 fine from the PLUS Market due to Whyte's failure to disclose his seven-year directorship ban.

Head administrator Paul Clark is expected to hold a further round of crisis talks with manager Ally McCoist today as the club braces itself for even more bad news.

The fear among players and staff is that the axe is likely to fall tomorrow unless more funds are found immediately to cover the running costs.

McCoist, though, despite the latest in a long line of misinformed reports in Whyte's pet paper, the Scottish Sun, will refuse to select which players stay and which go.

Instead, the manager will attempt to broker a deal to save jobs by slashing his own salary and asking his first-team squad to do the same to help the club survive without the need for job losses.

Rangers had hoped the £300,000 from Celtic would help tide them over but the administrators will have to find cash from elsewhere if swingeing cuts are to be avoided.

Here is an idea

Sell the Broomloan tickets to Gers fans

Fuck em

Don't understand how this can be a bad thing for us. We will have no problem selling 50000 tickets to Rangers fans, we could probably double that for old firm games in all honesty. We will not lose money out of this, of anything we will make more by selling more seats as there's no need for a line of police to separate the fans, plus we won't have to pay for repairs which they will undoubtedly do to our seats and toilet facilities.

Win - Win for us, they will be the losers in this. Lock them out

Not unexpected that the scum would try something like this to stir the pot even more tbh.

These bawbags are trying everything they can to create a nasty,nasty atmosphere at this game.

I say feck them, make the tickets £10,000 each for the scum end if they don't buy them sell them to our fans on the week of the game for what they are priced at now.
