Pars contact SPL over £80k unpaid ticket money

DUNFERMLINE have written to the Scottish Premier League after the Fife outfit were not paid the £80,000 owed to the club for the recent meeting with Rangers.

The Pars’ grievance is likely to be addressed at an SPL board meeting at Hampden today, along with the claims of any other clubs who are owed money by the ailing Ibrox outfit.

The money due from ticket sales to the Rangers support was scheduled to arrive with the club on Tuesday but, with the Glasgow club in administration, no payment was forthcoming.

Dunfermline have also contacted Rangers’ administrators, Duff and Phelps, regarding the absent payment, but there was no confirmation of when – or if – the money would arrive.

Dunfermline chief executive Bill Hodgins said: “We have spoken to Rangers administrators to ask whether they knew when a payment was likely – they didn’t. I was told a meeting was taking place regarding football debts, but I have heard nothing else since.”
