Albion Rovers' Scottish Cup heroes on three-month wage bonus to KO Rangers


Recommended Posts

THE League Two shocktroops will earn a bonus equivalent to 12-weeks' wages if they pull off the biggest shock of them all at Ibrox tomorrow.

 

ALBION ROVERS will earn a staggering three-month wage bonus of £1000 a man if they manage to pull off mission impossible and beat Rangers at Ibrox tomorrow.

 

The Coatbridge club are in their first Scottish Cup quarter-final for 80 years.

 

A club source confirmed James Ward’s players are on a “substantial bonus” to defeat Rangers to reach the last-four stage. The part-timers stand to earn in excess of £150,000 from the tie which is live on Sky TV.

 

The Wee Rovers also plan to refurbish their Cliftonhill stadium from their cup windfall which will see their ground capacity increase to 2500. While Rangers have met at plush five-star hotels before away games the Rovers squad will be ferried to Ibrox from various pick-up points on the team bus.

 

Ward said: “I won’t even put the club to the expense of a pre-match meal.

 

“The team bus will set off from Cliftonhill and we’ll pick up some players on the south side of Glasgow on the way to the game.”

It's a bit bizarre casting them as plucky underdogs considering they were a division higher than us less than a year ago.

Won't be a great crowd sadly, people who can't be bothered will still be dying for a semi-final ticket against Aberdeen or Dundee Utd though.

 

The fans who go to the quarter final should get first shout for semi final tickets, but they won't!

I sort of agree with that but CCCS and supporters clubs should be looked after first since they commit to an application for every game.

 

After that i'm not sure how many will be left especially if we need to give up half the stadium.
