RANGERS are giving free official match tickets to supporters attending the away UEFA Cup tie against Sporting on Thursday 10 April.
In an unprecedented initiative in European football, the Club has bought the entire Rangers ticket allocation for the match at the Jose Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon at a cost of £50,000.
The 2,500 tickets will be distributed free by the Club, based on previous travel history.

The bit they forgot to mention is this...

This "Free Ticket" carry on cost Rangers £50,000, sounds like a great gesture....right?


































But they have added £5 onto each ticket for the home game, now times that by 50,000 and you get 250,000.

Take away the £50,000 to pay for the away tickets leaves Murray Mint with a profit of £200,000

Not bad for a day's work?

Moonbeams R Us.

I think you have done a great job highlighting this even if the Scottish media will be somewhat embarrassed that the facts are out. :thumb:Can you just imagine what they would have said had this been Celtic doing this same thing? The need for a season extension will obviously depend upon the result next week. I did find it interesting Sunday against Gretna how the ref couldn't wait to card Scott Brown, effectively putting him out of the April 16th encounter with Rangers in Paradise. Funny how these coincidences keep coming up eh?

The fact that these ticket will only be available to those going to Lisbon on the 'official party' and there will be a hike in the prices for all the mugs who will pay the extra but will get a free ticket!!! And they aren't going to take any chances giving the tickets to the idiots that they gave them to last year in Spain and also so that they can say the trouble which will happen whether the result goes their way or not was down to Sporting allowing the rogue element in to the stadium and thus shifting the blame again!!! It will be all those Catholic schools in Portugal's fault!!!
