Motherwell probably won't even sell out the other stands never mind start selling tickets in the South Stand to 'Well fans. There's gonna be over 3,000 empty seats in that South Stand unless they change their mind and up our allocation, but they won't do that.

Congratulations lads!

If Rab's other tweets are correct (which I definitely think they will be) then the remaining unsold ST ticket seats won't be available at all tonight, only from 8am tomorrow.

Don't all rush at once FFS!

Apparently the Firpark ticket office sold out their allocation for Ibrox in no time at all today. It's just a shame we couldn't give them the 2k allocation they were looking for and get their whole South Stand for our fans on Sunday, but it was never going to happen with our fans buying up all of the unreserved tickets for Ibrox within about 24 hrs of the result at Easter Road.

I've just read that again and it clearly suggests that Motherwell have sold less than 950 season tickets.

The last thing most Motherwell fans will want is Rangers fans in the Motherwell sections. The vast majority of Rangers fans who manage to get tickets for the home sections at Firpark will have got them from the Firpark ticket office.

That's the predictions thread up for the Motherwell game on Thursday night - Predictions for Rangers v Motherwell - Premiership Play-Off Final leg 1 (GPL game 53)

Here's the latest results and standings tables following Saturday's 0-1 loss at Easter Road - LINK....

Motherwell would have given us the full South Stand (4500 - 4800 seats) if we had given them the allocation they requested for Thursday night which was apparently about 2,000. It's an unfortunate situation, but I would imagine it's the Cops who've told us to restrict the away section to the 950 in the corner to make it easier for them to police it.

At either end of the stadium you just need to go down the slope next to the big gates and go to the glass door for entry to the lifts which take you up to the Club Deck.

Leg room is an issue in the Club Deck, but I'd rather have a little bit less leg room and a cracking view than a restricted view seat at the back of one of the enclosures.

That's your article now been published Rousseau - Big Players Step Up Thanks again!

Anyone fancy volunteering to write a preview for one of the play-off final legs?

I've slept on it and decided that you were either taking the mickey or are not a Rangers fan.

There probably aren't too many things I wouldn't do for 30 grand a week mate.

Motherwell wanted more than the 950 tickets they're getting from us, so I don't see how we can complain about only getting 1500 from them when 1500 is about 10% of their stadium capacity. The only thing which is an issue is that yes, the rest of the South Stand on Sunday will almost certainly be empty, so we'll be looking at over 3000 empty seats. Our 1500 will probably be for the middle sections of the lower tier.

That's what we want to see! The ticket sales queue after 9pm tomorrow will be off the chart and the stadium will be sold out by some time on Tuesday. How many buyers are 'Well fans is another matter. I saw several Hibs fans getting huckled out of the East Enclosure on Wednesday night.

This is an even weirder subject than Gordon Smith's wacky league reconstruction proposal. Who gets to decide if some of the historic old clubs who helped start Scottish football should go down to the regional senior non-league divisions or the junior leagues? It's certainly not our decision to make and I'm struggling to think of anyone in Scottish football who should make such a decision outwith individual clubs themselves.

Trying to judge/call the 'worst Rangers team ever' is a very difficult one mate. Our fans have been saying stuff like that ever since we landed in the bottom tier of Scottish football with numpties up front like Fran Sandaza & Kevin Kyle. I'd take Boyd & Miller over Sandaza and Kyle any day of the week even although Boyd & Miller haven't had a good season for us.

Initially yes, but once the dust settles there's still going to be criticism of players and managers even if we get past Motherwell and get promoted.

No definitely not. Who's going to make the decision and then tell 20 or 22 historic Scottish football clubs that they're no longer welcome in the Scottish Professional Football Leagues? That's just crazy. These historic wee clubs in the lower leagues need our help, not a kick in the bollocks and told to GTF because they're not wanted.

Folks, we're looking for volunteers to write the match previews for the 2 play-off final legs against Motherwell, so if anyone fancies doing one just say which one you'd like to do and we'll put your name down on the schedule here.

Personally, I want to wait until after these two games against Motherwell before getting back into judging any of the players or what sort of season they've had. I've been critical of quite a few players this season, but I want to put my criticisms to the side until after this 2 legged play-off final.

You should have asked his auld man if Kenny would sign for Celtic again if they offered him 30 grand a week! :devil:
