Rangers decide against taking up their ticket allocation for the upcoming Scottish Cup tie with Dundee United.

Rangers have opted not to take up their ticket allocation for the club's last-16 Scottish Cup tie against Dundee United at Tannadice.

The decision has been made after all Scottish Premier Division sides voted against Rangers newco competing in the top flight this season, thus resulting in them dropping down to bottom tier.

"This is a unanimous decision by the board, senior management and staff at Ibrox. Everyone at this club is dismayed at the actions of certain SPL clubs, which were actively engaged in trying to harm Rangers when we were in a perilous situation and we are acutely aware of their attitude to us," owner Charles Green said in a statement.

"Not all clubs who voted against Rangers returning to the SPL fall into that category and indeed we made Motherwell very welcome when we played them at Ibrox in the League Cup competition recently.

"However, feelings remain very raw and it should be no surprise that we as a club feel this way."

Green has also appealed for Rangers supporters not to attend the fixture, which is due to be played on Saturday, February 5.
