RANGERS v EAST STIRLING (P-P)
IBROX - GLASGOW
Ibrox Stadium lies empty on match day yet again as heavy rain overnight caused the clash between Rangers and East Stirling to be rescheduled
Dundee United and the SFA have attempted to cool the Ibrox row by agreeing to deal with the matter in private.
A war of words had erupted betweeen the two parties over the Tangerines’ potential ticket allocation for the April 12 William Hill Scottish Cup semi-final at the home of opponents Rangers.
United were and remain furious over the tone and content of the governing body’s statement addressing the allocation issue.
They also would still like the tie moved to a neutral venue.
However, the morning after the night before saw United and the SFA agree on at least one thing.
The short statement from the Tannadice club read: “Regarding the William Hill Scottish Cup semi final ticketing and venue issue, the club today held constructive discussions with senior officials from the Scottish FA and both parties have agreed to conduct future consideration on this matter in private.”
