St Johnstone hand Rangers fans three stands for Scottish Cup tie

St Johnstone have handed Rangers three of McDiarmid Park's four stands for their upcoming Scottish Cup clash.

Home supporters will be housed in the Main Stand only, while away fans will be in North, Ormond and East Stands.

St Johnstone season ticket holders who are usually sat in the East and Ormond stands will be moved into the Main Stand.

Tickets will be priced at £30 for adults and £20 for concessions.

A Saints statement read: "The following is an update regarding our home match against Rangers in the Scottish Cup.

"After talks between both clubs and the police, we can advise that for this particular match, the St Johnstone support will be accommodated in the Main Stand only with the visiting support accessing the three other stands in the stadium. 

"All our season ticket holders will be given a priority window to purchase Main Stand tickets for the game and details for this will be announced next week.

"All ticket sales for the visiting support areas of the ground will be handled only by Rangers FC.

"Ahead of this announcement, talks have been held with some of our supporter groups to explain why we have taken the steps we have for this particular match.

"We realise these arrangements will inconvenience some of our supporters and apologise for this but we look forward to a healthy backing from the Main Stand as we have enjoyed on similar such occasions in the past."
