Rangers have announced recently that away allocation to Ibrox will be reduced to around 800 due to ‘record sales’ of season tickets.
Now, forgive me for perhaps sounding cynical, but I’ve got a distinct feeling that it might also be down to the fact they’ve had enough of us celebrating when we’ve beaten them on their patch.
Of course, now they’ve done this the celebrations will be slightly quieter but, even so, they’ll still be there – we’re not exactly just going to disappear.
It’s got quite a lot of us talking on Twitter as you might expect, meanwhile, so let’s take a look at what has been said on the social media site:

Best thing I’ve heard them do since they were formed in 2012.

Drastic measures when the aggregate score is 30-5

Take the allocation imagine 800 to 900 fans left in a stadium after 60 mins. Even g4s will be sending staff home early

Hopefully that’ll be 800 empty seats.#boycottibrox

The Verdict
You might be unsurprised to learn that the Bhoys have responded in saying that we’re also set for more season ticket holders next season and, with that, you can see us responding in kind to what they’ve done.
