Dundee handed Rangers Ibrox away allocation as Hibs fans given lockout hope

Rangers have offered Hibs fans some hope ahead of their clash next weekend - by handing Dundee just shy of 1000 away fan tickets for the Premier Sports Cup.

The Dees confirmed earlier this evening that they had been handed "a very small number" of tickets for their trip to Ibrox tomorrow despite only recently receiving the briefs and confirmation. It comes amid continued work to the Gers' stadium and the Copland Road stand following delays in its renovation.

Hibs yesterday revealed they were still having discussions with the Glasgow giants about their own supporters and possible tickets for the Sunday, September 29 fixture. And they feared a lockout may be put in place if no decision can be made by that point.

But Football Scotland understands almost 1000 tickets were made available to the Dees to sell and - according to their website - they are on sale on a "first come, first served" plan.
