Dundee United facing £100,000 hit from Rangers’ administration move

Dundee United are due just under £100,000 from crisis club Rangers from their recent Scottish Cup tie.

The Light Blues confirmed on Monday that they have served a notice of intent at the Court of Session in Edinburgh that they will be going into administration within 10 business days from the date the papers were lodged.

It is understood Ibrox owner Craig Whyte, director of operations Ali Russell and board member Andrew Ellis had a meeting with team manager Ally McCoist to inform him of the news.

With there now being a moratorium in place on payments to Rangers’ creditors, that adds up to an anxious time for the Tangerines as they await news of whether they will ever see their share of the gate money from their 2-0 fifth-round win at Ibrox.

No one from Tannadice would comment but Courier Sport understands the cash was scheduled to be paid on Wednesday.
