Rangers tickets for Motherwell semi-final still available

Tickets for the Rangers end appear to remain available ahead of this weekend's League Cup semi-final against Motherwell.

Briefs went on general sale last week on Wednesday, October 23. This period is due to end today on Thursday, October 31.

However, it seems that tickets remain available for the game which is only four days away.

It would be fair to say that Rangers fans will be sick of the sight of Hampden Park after being forced to make the national stadium a temporary home in the early weeks of the campaign due to construction works at Ibrox.

However, failure to sell out their allocation for a cup semi-final is most unlike the Scottish Premiership giants.

They take on Motherwell in Glasgow's southside on Sunday at 3pm. 

The Steelmen's allocation sits at around just 7,500, with the vast majority of the stadium due to be filled by Gers supporters.

The winners of the tie will know their opponents for December's Premier Sports Cup final, as Aberdeen face Celtic on Saturday.

The Dons will go into that game full of belief after they defeated Rangers 2-1 at Pittodrie last night.

Kris Boyd was left reeling after the display by Philippe Clement's men, as the former Ibrox striker called for a change of manager at his old club.

And he warned that fans will vote with their feet, and make their feelings known that they've turned on the Belgian.

He said: "It's easy to say there's no money, but the crowd will tell you. 

"The crowds are down at Ibrox. It'll be interesting to see how many turn up at Hampden.

"Once that starts to dwindle away then all of a sudden the club is losing money as well because the fans don't want to turn out. 

"The fans are key in everything here. Once they get fed up and bored of watching this style of play - or lack of style of play - then that's it. 

"We said it under Michael Beale and Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Once the fans turn, and believe me, having spoken to a good few of them, they have turned - even the ones with blue-tinted glasses on can see right through what is going on right now. 

"It's easy in interviews to kick the can down the street and say 'We'll get better,' there is nothing to suggest that they are going to get better."
